Lettered ice climbs conditions, February 2014

Just got back down from the Palisade Glacier.

Trail is now broken all the way in there. Via epic snow-shod, post-holing, whumphing snow below Sam Mack. No flotation needed below 10500. Get it while its good.

And is it good? Heck yeah! We opted for the U-Notch Couloir on account of a cornice hanging over the V. Epic blue ice for about 40% of the height. Like, crystal blue. All-time aesthetic. But cold and hard and high, obviously.
