Climbed all but the last 20m today. The approach was a Beeeotch! Deep snow in the trees, half of the gully was good front pointing on hard snow/debris (slid within the last 3days?) but the other half was under-carriage deep. Ice was brittle and challenging.

Climbed Super Bok Feb22. Snowshoes useful for after the tracks. Short and thin first pitch. Climbed last pillar in one long pitch on the left; very wet and sustained. Hit a huge water pocket at the cap of the pillar. Rap down was wet...

Climbed Super Bock on March 15th. The walk in was easy without snowshoes and the climb was in great condition! We climbed the right line but all possible lines looked dry.
Cheers
Pierre

Went to Super Bock on Sat. Mar 22. From high on the route it looks like you could still cross the river directly below the route from the TCH. We walked the tracks just because we weren't sure if it was passable. The hike up to the base is in good shape with the first ice being at the "rock arch." A few hooks exist on the lower pitches but become less the higher you go. Ice quality is superb, and gear is bomber, enjoy.

Climbed the route yesterday (Mar 28) everything was great as per the above posts, but of note, we walked straight across to the route from the highway with no problems. Good travel accross the river and a trail is broken through the crust once you hit the trees on the other side.
