Climbed all but the last pitch of Elliott Left Hand. The climb is still forming, and will be good to go soon. The last pitch is currently in quite stiff shape with overhanging medusae above a hollow, unprotectable tube, and the whole climb was relatively thin and wet. We carried avalanche gear the whole day, and saw a number of small loose dry sluffs off the sidewalls of the canyon. No evidence of larger avalanches, and we couldn't get a good view of the overhead from the road. All in all, a fun adventure, though I would be careful about heading up there with much more fresh snow.
