Climbed Cascade Falls today. Ice conditions were so-so. Lots of thin shell ice over running water, and dry snow over rock slabs on the outside edges of the climb. Crux pitch climbed and protected ok on the left side but felt a little harder than WI3. Walk off was boney with 5-15cm of dry unconsolidated snow over hard ground. No avalanches observed, no slab properties in the snow where we travelled. Surface hoar up to 2mm present in open areas up to treeline.
