Had a cold but beautiful day climbing Carlsberg Column in Field today.

We avoided the approach pitch in an attempt to minimize our exposure time
to the hanging daggers on Cascade Kronenbourg. Viewed from above it appears
that all the ice chunks falling off Kronenbourg had stopped in the snow
above the pitch so it may have been OK...

Carlsberg Column is in good shape with good protection and signs of only
one other party in the previous few days. Left side was dry, right side was
covered in running water.

No significant avalanche hazard on the route at this time although there
was evidence of some good sluffing below Kronenbourg after the last storm.
