Urs Hole

<p>We tried for Urs Hole today and bailed before the snow plug after climbing 5/6 short ice steps and going a few hundred meters up the canyon. More snow than we wanted in the canyon and on the mountain, more sluffing than we wanted from both sides of the canyon, including one big enough to knock someone off a climb. The ice steps have some shell and some water holes at the base, all topouts are thin and scratchy. Slow going through knee/thigh deep snow and some deeper drifts. The general feel was that it wasn't right, so we bailed early.</p>
