Wicked Wanda

Dumped champagne powder snow out in the Ghost today, 20+cm. Small size 0.5 storm slabs were naturally releasing at the base of Wicked Wanda. Bad spindrift from up high all day despite it not being very windy (think it was just from the snow nuking down). Any climbs with overhead hazard should be approached with caution, especially if and when the winds pick up and the light snow gets transported around.
Ice on Wicked Wanda wasn't great, lots of work to get good sticks and lots of snice and shelly ice in spots too. The big hill was solid ice and chains were mandatory to get up.
