Stanley head wall approach

<p>Climbed Hulot today, We found few cm new snow sit on old WSL 2-3cm thick at approach ledge. Mid layer was pretty solid but it was pretty faceted snow shallow spot near the wall too. HS average more than 120cm but pretty variable. We didn’t get any whumpfing but little bit reactive cracked surface snow. We didn’t see any natural activities today. Wind was picking up around 2 pm and we saw bunch spindrift coming down the wall. Ice conditions: see the attached pictures.</p>
