In particular I think dru was pointing out the nice looking WI flow at the bottom of the frame.

good eye dru. went to find de pencier bluffs yesterday. didn't go that far in the end (great powder close by), but saw quite a few smaller meter-scale flows over other bluffs as we were skiing past (and over).

On thursday, my buddy and I went up onto the North ramp of Harvey.

Condition were to say the least unconsolidated. We wallowed our way upwards to past the crux corner which had no Ice in it at all, and because of time of day decided to just descend then deal with more trenching that was about to come.

 

Hike in was good until the boulder field below the ramp which sucked ass and was like walking from one balance board to the next. The way down was worse causing me to rip my new paclite pants several time well post holling into the abyss.

 

Need some warm weather to get some moisture back in the snow. there was about an inch of ice at most anywhere on the route.

 

Avalanche conditions were good with only about a 5 to 10cm windslab in some isolated spots.

 

We rapped the bottom of the ramp via an icicle and a small cedar branch because going up was all on snow covered rock/slab. Bounced the shit out of the anchor once down and it didn't fail. wow.
