Avi Hazard low at and below treeline today. Snowpack showed no signs of instability. Wind hardened crust present at all elevations on south face of Mount Rowe. Side cutting difficult or impossible at many places above 2100m, I had to boot pack it at 3 sections on my ascent, but I summited at a reasonable pace in 3 hours. Descended directly south of the peak down the drainage path. Overall it was OK, a bit crusty in places but very rideable and even enjoyable the whole way down.
