The fact that there wasn't a single guide anywhere near the mountain sould have been our first clue that conditions were bad but it looked so purdy and the weather was so nice.... very deceptive! No one made it up. Too much snow/ice. Took us 6 hours to get to the Solvey(?) hut, and 12 hours to get down from there. Great group of people on the mountain and the weather was great so it was still a lot better than a sharp stick in the eye. No one was going up on the 10th. A few good hot days with no precip should improve matters greatly. A Russian team went up via the Italian Ridge the other day but it took them 28 hours. I figure if it took the Russians 28 hours, it would probably take mere mortal climbers a lot longer than that.
