Quick report
Toured up the ridge from Sherwin Creek Road to Punta Bardini on a well-established skin track. The snow west of the ridge was predictably wind-affected, with a breakable crust and plenty of annoying features, but east of the ridge was fine, if a bit heavy. I didn't trigger any significant cracks, either up or down, but I stuck to conservative terrain. Intermittent high clouds kept the temps down.
