Climbing Conditions

Sat June 2nd I climbed AthaB N face bi pass with a group. There was a good over night freeze and the glacier travel was very good with 10-20 cm of low density storm depending on elevation and aspect. We observed no avalanches on Sat but some minor sloughing in steep terrain. The ice in the Scottish gully was in excellent shape and goes at AI 2, (-10 on the summit) We descended the ramp route with little concern, of note is the crevasse under the silverhorn route which is getting wider and will become difficult when/if the bridges melt out.

Sun June 3rd we climbed the E.ridge of Hilda peak, the lower ridge offers some exposed scrambling and easy 5th, we pulled the pin on the summit block due to deteriorating wx and over loose rock.
