Tried to climb hotlam bolam glacier route Memorial day weekend they weather was WINDY!! was turned back at 12000ft. Was so bad we had a hard time communicating. We had to shout in order to hear each other. We started at 3 from 9500 and am figure we turned around at 6am or so. Ther were 3 groups behind us they all turned around also at aprox the same alt. Except for the wind the conditions were great!! the snow was in perfect shape figured air temp was in teens WC was WAY below 0 we had a hard time starying warm as we were walking. I wanted to add some pictures but how the heck do I do that. I have them on my hard drive.

Any open crevases on the Hotlum? Did you ski in?

There were some crevases open on the glacier they were at 12000.They look like vertical lines in the pictures. We walked in there wasn't solid snow till 8300' or so.
