Hey Rob,
Sounds fun out there, still fun here too! I did Trinity right hand today, conditions are very different from last week. This route WAS all good neve with a little ice. Today it had a crust ontop of a few inches of powder and even the neve underneath had softened. The two steeper corners did still have good placements. Got softer towards top. Route out to right was blocked by big cornice, traversed across left, where cornice is very small, to top out. All more serious than last week with these new conditions. Spoke to a team who were going to do Snowdrop, don't know how they got on. Footprints up left hand trinity and a team topped out on right hand when I was returning over Crib Goch. Crib Goch was pretty plastered with fresh snow but as a result was nice going. Spoke to someone on Crib Goch and seemed like Parsley Fern had the same softish conditions. Spectacular day, sunny, no wind and a great cloud inversion. Staying cold for another few days so maybe it'll all stabilize again. No photos, forgot camera.
Enjoy the rest of the trip,
Carl.
