Climbing Conditions

Climbed Boundary Peak today on firm snow most of the time. Going up we had a supportive snowpack, with little boot penetration of 2-3 inches, never above ankle. Coming down in late afternoon some postholing ocurred in the usual shallow spots and close to the edges of snow fields. Looking over at A2 and Boundary lake there is way more snow in that drainage, down to the road, Boundary lake still frozen.
