| Did the "thin right start" to gain the snowfield, this was dry. All ice sections are gone and water is flowing down the entire route. By-passed the crux by climbing the face and bulge to the right of the black rock at the crux. Probably wasn't easier, but at least it was dry. Got to play alpine Jenga the whole way up. | |

| Heh. Well, by the time you guys got on everything, it was definitely slushing up. It was much better for Andy and I at the lead; and we felt we were off by about an hour of prime time as it was (needed to be earlier). Snow in the Apron needs more consolidation; it was a hard crust on sugar. I'll put up a comparison shot of what 3 weeks and 2+ new feet of snow does for this climbs crux. Good to meet you and Tim up there, pleasant surprise. | |

| Fun time on Marthas. I expected and hoped for more ice but even without it, the route met my expectations. As of 5/17 the crux on P4 was melting and slushy in spots. You can get 1 good screw in that "might" hold you if you biffed. Any other placements are nothing more than head pieces. Fortunately the technical section on the route is only 20' or so. In another week or 2 the ice will be gone so go get it! | |
