Quick report

Overall firm conditions in Huntington Ravine. Old surface is prominent, with some breakable crust and wind buffed pockets in lee areas (very limited). Not much snow available for transport. Pinnacle Gully: Ice climbing conditions were pretty good although still scrappy and more like early December in more normal years. Be prepared with a full kit to build anchors as ice anchor options were challenging. There are some big open holes higher in the gully, all easily passable, but hard to protect. Lot of shell snow/snice with water moving under. P1 was in excellent shape.
