We observed tracks up the West Face of Mt Lefroy yesterday. The face still has a strip of snow which allows you to reach the summit ridge, but it is disappearing quickly and a cold morning would be desirable to reduce the risk of rockfall. Hungabee is in good condition and the Morrison Buttress on Mt Odaray looks dry.
