Quick report

Traveled from Paradise to Edith Creek basin to the base of Pan Face, then later down the main route to Paradise. Stout 2-3 cm crust found in all areas outside of the main track. Crust was breakable but mostly supportable, icy and had a skiff of new snow on the top. Looser, unconsolidated snow underneath. Extremely low visibility/whiteout conditions today prevented observing anything beyond a few yards.
