"Skined/bootpack Happy to have crampons and an ice axe. Probably could have skinned a bit higher with ski crampons. Pretty direct way down. Fast return! Ski conditions at the top weren't great, but they were nice on the lower ramp and on the Swiss glacier. Hermit path was pretty skied out, but held pockets of powder. We carried ropes and wore our harnesses/gear on the glacier. We didn't see any sagging or signs of crevasses. Happy to get this one! Will return on a clear day " — mike_rogers81 • Jan 30, 2021

"Conditions were perfect: A blue bird sky, the bergschrund up the Swiss glacier was solid (it was showing signs of opening up four days later however). The top was capped with snow. Awesome views. Since it was such a good day we continued on and bagged the Swiss Peaks also." — BertB • Jun 28, 2015
