Slush Bucket
Hot and slushy climb. Won't be long before lots of rock exposed. Got nailed a couple of times with ice fall. Nothing to rant about. IMHO Flattop's routes are more interesting.

Great Conditions
Climbed Skywalker with Mike, Marella, and CharlesD. Hit the base of the climb about 6:30am. Snow was rock hard and solid. Sunlight on the Princess Leia finish made it absolutely perfect. The cornice that was mentioned on 18-Jun-06 (in hindsight, I think this cornice was mentioned on some other website) is now gone but the schrund at the base of the Leia section is starting to open up quite a bit. Still passable, but not for much longer. Definately evidence of rockfall, and a couple whizzed by. Wear a helmet on this one.
Awesome climb, awesome day.

Bomber climb
Skywalker to the traverse, super sweet. My first couloir climb, stellar!
