Take the snorkel if you're planning on climbing the beer climbs in Field this week. Warming to near/above zero after midday really deteriorated the climbing. Ice was still good and took sharp stuff well, but the persistent hosing and dripping daggers overhead sent us home early. No snowpack instabilities of note. No spindrift. Calm winds and no new snow.
