The weather forecast was pretty accurate today. It predicted a calm start followed by intense strong winds as the day progressed and thats what happened. There has been a lot of fresh snowfall overnight and we had to wade through deep powder to get to the foot of the route.
Alec and I had an early start and were at the foot of the route for about 9:00am. We climbed Cascade which is a 50 metre ice route that is graded IV, 5 and was in great nick today with soft squidgy snow ice taking first time placements. We abbed off some in situ tat and were back home for lunch.
