Eclipse Glacier Basecamp

Basecamp on/near Eclipse Glacier from April 22-30. 300cm+ on the glacier. Near ridge tops and larger passes snow bridges down to 60-80cm thick, evidence of sagging on the larger transverse crevasses. 30cm+ fresh snow on April 30th. Below this is a mixed interface with many firm wind pressed layers and a few crusts mid/lower snowpack. Lots of bare ice showing on Badham & Donjek faces. Proper boot crampons + ice axe certainly open your options.
