Anybody got any beta on Squak, or Easton, or Squeaston? Getting concerned about lack of TRs!

The route was in good condition two weeks ago crevasse wise, snow conditions were a little bumpy/mushy:

Yeah, just got back from there. Got roped (literally) into doing a straight climb. Lighter pack on the way up, but what a brutal epic downslogLOL! Looked navigable from a skiers perspective, but too many large runneled suncups I think to make it truly worthwhile. Quite a change from July 2, when I was up the Easton. A lot of crevasses, some of which sort of sneaked up on us. Amazing views and weather made up for it all 8) Thanks for responding! My guide and I had both never been there before and I'm not sure we took the optimal approach up to Crag View and back down. We hiked straight up the spine on the way up (scrambly) and hiked down directly west of there on the way back which wasn't any better unfortunately. Any advice for next time? Thanks!

Following the ridge from the Scott Paul's trail before you drop into Easton Gl. gully/morraines and then moving east of the ridge and later spine is much easier - at least two variations of this exist as to how far east you go...

Oh look at that!? All you have to do is copy and paste the link into the text and not bother with the Add image tags process! At last I understand.
