Quick Observation
Approach: ~45 min -17 C at car park. Good travel on approach snow slopes with a decent trail kicked in. Higher up snowpack became much more supportive, crampons useful on the upper steeper sections. First few meters delaminated hollow kicks and tools. Marginal screws in snicey ice. ~15m up had a settlement where ice on the rhs collapsed and fell close to belayer, not climber induced and before the sun had come out and temps warmed up. A few more meters up, felt and heard another settlement which seemed more substantial. We decided to bail quickly, left a single screw and draw.
