Trip Description

attempting some early season climbs on the glacier fed headwall above joffre lakes.

Approach on/with skiis. Climbing early(sketchy) season ice, likely in the WI4-5 range with objective hazards.

Trip is exceedingly condition dependent as proposed climbs are threatened by avalanche and serac fall, and dependent on freeze thaw cycles through this fall.

Plan B would be simpler ice along the duffey, or ski touring.

Leave saturday, approach, scope, camp. Climb sunday (monday as well if desired) and de-proach.
