Tried NE face (W variation) on Sunday--pretty excellent ice and mixed conditions. Didn't finish last pitch through steep, blocky terrain because ice was too thin for us, but I think this week's weather should fatten it up enough by Friday. Anyone have off from work or school that day and want to give it a go? Lower part is AI3, and the pitch we didn't do looks like AI3+, M4-5.
More reasons to go in the album.
