Quick report

Traveled to JFS canyon with the intention of climbing running rabbit. I ended up giving up around 7k feet. I found conditions that were more variable than expected. The sun had little effect here, and instead I found barely supportable wind hardened crust on S faces, and breakable crust most everywhere else. NE had just a zipper crust, with soft slightly saturated snow beneath it. There was very low coverage below 5600 ft and many of the avalanche chutes were bare in the bottom third. No sun.
