Avied? Not quite!
Icefall and rockfall were present.
Our job on the North Face was to film the route and the objective hazards.
The weather was warm, the snow was soft, and stopping frequently to film in those conditions were an uneccesary risk.
Cooler weather would have been really nice, or perhaps some shade, but the sun shines directly on the face the moment it rises.
Seems like a great route, and I was not happy about turning around after bushwacking through the night, and beginning the route.
Will try again soon!
Avy conditions on the slopes were not present!
