I just got word that this was located. I hope I can get it back. I would have fallen further and died without it.

Climbing Friday and took a spill. Quark saved my life, but we got separated on the SE Ridge.

Terrible conditions Friday. Snow and rock mixed. Not safe. I turned back halfway across.

How did you pass the bergschrund? Looking at this route for the upcoming weekend.
Is North Sister "Terrible Traverse" dry?

It has definitely melted a bunch since then, but still snow. I chickened out on the traverse while standing in your steps. The snow was so shallow that my axe was worthless for protection. The snow was icy enough with a low snow level that my footing was very sketchy. I was also solo, so I will come back when snow conditions look better to me.
