Explored the Patterson access route through delta creek.
Good
Travel up to the canyon was fast and supportive
Bad
Poor ski quality breakable crusts, on exit and a avalanche fan we poked around
Ugly
The boot pack up the canyon was variable( some bullet proof, some wind crusts, some facet to ground and no clues on the surface)
After the 1st section the traverse was wind hammered not easy to kickstep into. Boot crampons would of been needed turned around here
