The snow on Guinness Gully and on the approach to High Test / Guinness Stout has faceted out. Colder temperatures this morning with -10 at the car.
We snow climbed through trees on climbers right to access the base of the route. Ice quality was variable. The bottom 10-15m of High Test was aerated, thin, and pro was hard to come by. There was no indication that this route had been climbed this year yet.
