Climbing Conditions

We were in the Hermit Meadows area over the weekend. We climbed the N ridge of the north peak of Sifton on Saturday, we passed on going to the main summit as there were still two snow sections and we did not have crampons or ice axes. The guidebook and map both indicate a glacier on the approach but it doesn't exist anymore. On Sunday we climbed Tupper W ridge, which is completely dry with only a few low angle snow patches on approach.

Some images of the area show conditions on Sifton, Rogers, and Swiss Peaks.
