[MCR] Aberdeen North Glacier

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Spent a beautiful day on Aberdeen's North Glacier today. Very similar
conditions to what James reported on the 14th (before the snow).

Temps were cold all day. -10 at the parking lot at 5:30 am and -15 at the
base of the route around 8:30. The tongue provided a special blend of hard,
low angle ice and I was glad to have two real tools and a few extra screws.
We pitched out four 60m rope lengths to the upper glacial bench (which is in
excellent shape).

The approach trail is mostly snow covered as is the ankle-eating talus
leading to the base of the route.

Cheers,
Andrew
