Ice - Ghost. Sorcerer

<p>**Approach had shooting cracks walking up the Johnson Lakes trail and to a lesser extent in the approach drainage. **Ice on lower pitches very thin. Tools hitting rock and limited opportunities even for 10cm screws. P1 is largely buried with accumulated spindrift so P1 and 2 can be combined into one. **RAP ANCHORS** the anchor at the top of the narrows before the snow patch (P2) has only one bolt. Second bolt is missing the hanger and the self drive stud. The anchor at the top of the apron (P3) was not seen but could be buried in accumulated spindrift. Of limited use with the only intact pillar being in the middle and no easy way to protect the traverse.</p>
