Quick report
The approach to this ice climb would serve as a nasty terrain trap...40 degree sidewalls over a deep gully. Terrain above seems ripe for funneling debris over the route.
No avalanche concerns currently at this elevation though a few dry loose popped off in the warm temps and flowed over the route.

Surface facets remained dry today though the late was not as thick has other areas. We were a.nit surprised at the collapse in the Dec 10 crust/facet later but the failure was Q2 and is near enough the ground that it's disrupted by boulders, veg, etc.
