Quick report

Went as a group of 5 2 went up silver horn 3 up climbers right up the N face of silver horn No summits (late start) The ride down to the end of plateau was amazing Full posthole on the bergshrund on climbers right on the approach to silver horn There was a big slide (serrac failure I guess) you can see the path in a photo easily avoidable run out zone Once the sunset it got super stiff as the snowpack froze quite quickly, but higher up was great soft snow. Few patches on the silverhorn route where the snow is too deep to find ice and a few patches where the snow sits on the ice but hasn’t bonded Got a little warm layer about 3-5cm deep on the surface but nothing concerning
