Comments

Toured up Andromache from the Hector approach and skied down Molar. No signs of instabilities today. Lots of tracks below little Hector - 2 groups today decided to go climbers left of the serac instead of the right hand version. Ski crampons useful at times in alpine. Gigantic wind lip to enter Molar line - we actually belayed one skier down to find a way to enter. No shrund visible this year - bare ice at toe of glacier. Slot canyon well filled in.
