Mount Whyte attempt. I wanted to climb both Whyte and Niblock but unexpected overnight snow above 2900m made the route up Whyte essentially impossible. Since Niblock is south facing and the route is easy the snow wasn't an issue. Great views of Victoria, Lefroy and Temple. I hope to return to do Whyte and Saint Piran next year
