Was up there Sunday (7/9)

 

Traverses were in good shape, solid snow in early day, softer later.

 

Bowling alley is pretty icy with a small section of water ice near the top. Good enough to take screws in numerous parts.

 

Here are some shots:

climbed N and Middle sisters 7/22. N was clear of snow until the pretty easy traverse and the quiet bowling alley. avoid the southeast ridge like the F***ing plague though, it sucks
