Northeast ridge holds some patches of snow until 13,600 or so, then full coverage by snow until summit. The ridgeline to Conundrum also holds some snow.

Snow stayed hard until about 9 am. The snow in the basin was very soft by 9:30, and we started a few postholes.

Also by 8 am, warming snow began to drop rocks down the sides of castle.

The large cornice over the conundrum couloir has MOSTLY broken off, but enough remains to be dangerous.
