GCC conditions on Monday 7th:
Wallowing to the narrows, shrunds/holes were well bridged.
Blanchard ice strip is fantastic with about 30 meters of mixed rock up to Rockies 5.9.
Upper coulior hard ice, exit pitch is sketchy and shitty, if I were to head up there again I'd either go straight up or try the cheeseburger thing.
Got pounded by spindrift and small sluffs all day which was unpleasant but never big enough to knock you off.
Cornice was fairly small and went quick.
Notch on descent was harder than anticipated but not as hard as it initially appears. Snow stability felt good, some big open terrain must be crossed on the descent.
Walking/skiing out to the car in the dark was balls, highly variable snow.
Take a bunch of screws, half a dozen cams to #2 Camelot, a few nuts(didn't use any), and a handfull of pins including some short KB's.
Hope this helps.
