Climbed Shades of Beauty Nov 23. A little hesitant on the drive north from Lake Louise as there was significant snow accumulation, which drastically decreased after the icefields centre. Dusting of snow on the approach, the slopes below the climb were below threshold, slopes above look heavily wind affected with possible isolated loading, although didn't seem concerning. Noted no signs of instability or any avalanche activity. Weather was cloudy with intermittent blue sky, minimal wind, and no notable wind transport even above treeline.
Ice was okay, mostly dry with some wet sections. Pitch 3 was entirely dry and thin in sections but pro was easy. Climb across from shades was not in yet.
