Yak is very wet with melting water but the Yak Crack is snowfree.

 

Northeast ridge of Needle has a couple remnant cornices.

 

West ridge of Needle is firm snow, no need for snowshoes or skis.

 

Off in the disatance it looked like Ibex and Springbok were snowfree, Springbok descent gully still has snow. Steinbok still has lots of snow on top.

is yak crack dry or just snow free?

[G-spotter]

Aha! This is a logic problem the likes of which you may encounter in University, if you make it that far.

 

All snowy rockclimbs are wet.

Some rockclimbs that are not snowy are wet.

Yak Crack is not snowy.

 

Is Yak Crack wet?

for this, you need additional information, presented in the first part of the first sentence.

 

Yak Peak is very wet.

Yak Crack is a rockclimb on Yak Peak.

 

Therefore?

 

You, or Mark McKillop, may have to construct a Venn Diagram to prove this one to your own satisfaction.
