Climbing Conditions

Climbed the Three Wise Men route in Lundy Canyon today.
Was able to drive (high clearance 4WD) to the trailhead, and followed the summer trail. We brought snowshoes, put in a good track, though the track will likely be filled in again by tomorrow with moderate to high winds.
Route has mostly good ice with some hollow sections and thin ice over running water. Most of the truly funky stuff was avoidable by staying along the right margin and then crossing over the open water at the beginning of the 3rd pitch.
The descent is a bit icy right now, and crampons would be useful for at least the first traverse along the summer trail.
