Quick report

Lots of natural roller balls in the forth of July chutes area. Many signs of wet snow from the past few days in many of the couloirs. Due to conditions observed once on the cirque, we scaled our plans back and opted for less exposed terrain. Coverage was good. Road was melted out about 4.5 miles.
