Mount green

To start the creek crossing on the way to elephant trunk is an adventure, elephant trunk itself isn’t too bad. The climb up the rock section is thin! A bit of dry tooling on the rock is needed but doable, there is an old crown line above the cliff ban under the cornice. On the boot pack up it felt good and consolidated no major concern but spaced out.(Check picture of climb) Next crux was the descent off the top into the run, few more rocks than wanted also a small wind slab cracked off when navigating the rocks. The snow on the run down was great but of wind effect in the upper 3rd snow was better on easterly aspect. (Another picture to reference) Due to slower climb and slower descent be ready for a longer day!
