Lovely walk around the Spearhead on Sunday. Fast travel but poor skiing. We hoped for some afternoon corn and found it in a few places, but by late afternoon much of the solar snow had turned to mashed potatoes. Glacier coverage was solid and any sags easy to avoid. Overlord rap requires 60m of rope to easily get over a large moat - the current fixed lines don’t reach. Singing pass was icy and fast, but otherwise had good coverage all the way.
