Rode Spearhead Glacier (awesome snow) to Phalanx which was another story. The top had wind effect snow. On the boot pack to foon alley we got a little to close to the cornice. And my partner fell into a snow covered hollow spot in between the cornice and the rocks. The cornices are very large and over hanging wise to give them a lot of room. Foon Alley was terrible it had slide to the hard crust underneath. And the lower pitch below the chute was not much better. Top of poop chutes were pure ice would not recommend in these conditions
