<p>Spent the afternoon lapping the Spearhead Glacier, accessed via the guides notch.
Variable conditions, getting there, S slopes were firm and partially scoured.
Fantastic powder on lower angle N face, with it firming up as it got steeper/exposed to wind.
A mixture of firm wind pressed snow, cross loaded around rock features, and a shallower snowpack exiting up the S side.
Bergschrund still across the bottom of Don’t Swill.
Glacier is still heavily crevassed.
