<p>Went in to climb lineham falls yesterday. The sheltered north aspect of this climb has preserved it in this warm spell. Ice was wet, and sometimes felt like you were being rained on, but overall ice quality was good. Climbed the left line in two 70m pitches. The right line is on its way out, but still climbable. Just Nous Deux looked to be in fat and fun shape, and the Shining also looked in.
Approach is currently in challenging conditions. Prepare for wind swept, steep and icy side hilling for the first 2km. Crust was supportive to ski travel, but ski crampons are a must! Crust was not supportive to boots in many places.
Avalanche hazard is low right now with many start zones scoured to ground or locked in with by the early January crust and this current warm spell.
Overall a great day, get back there, the climbs are in and super fun! An FYI that quick and dirty fell this weekend due to the warm and experts choice looks to be in very poor shape.</p>
