We didn't do Leuthold, due to helping the lost climber cause. Instead we did the standard S.Side where the missing climbers had climbed.
The snow on the S.Side was very boot-track friendly but there are some areas that you'll still punch through but nothing seriously deep.
I see T-Line got 2 inches overnight and more is on the way. I'm heading up Sunday again.
Skinning up was a line picking challenge. There was a thin layer of rhime\hoar\snow and lots of interesting snow features. You could pick a line and skin like it you were skining on perfect conditions and 3 feet one way or the other, it was an icy bumpy mess.
Overall, visibility was\is the main concern. The cloud layer yeaterday was below the top of the Palmer.
