Quick report
Up to 7400' the snow was solid in the morning with snowshoes. The climbing was solid up to 7700' requiring an ice axe and crampons, but above 7700' the snow had 12' of unconsolidated powder over a hard base. No observed danger from avalanche as long as we stayed away from the large cornices. Took my boys up too. Great conditions.
