Squeaked one out to save the streak.  Straight up the lift-lines. Nothing remarkable but the bullet-proof rain crust.  Snowfield was jet-engine, don't fall, ice.  Few nice turns in ankle-deep wind-deposited fresh lower down in Mile canyon. 

Had a time limit, but conditions didn't look any better further up.  Left my little orange climbing partner on a rock just above Palmer bench.  Bout 3000' for 2500'.

3-years.

Cheers.

Spooky first photo.  Good job ekeing out 36 months.
