Climbed garibaldi this morning. Sunday June 7, 2015. Context; day 3 of 4 day intro course with 3 students. 
Approach from brohm ridge. Snow travel begins at just below tree line around 1700 m. Travel is like mid summer. Firm well settled base provides fast travel on foot. Easy step kicking, with sun cups formed. No overnight freeze with a low of plus 7 at 4 am. High of plus 22 during the days. Plenty of rock fall and ice fall in the usual places on dalton domes hanging glaciers and crumbling volcanic choss. Crevasses starting to open but fairly easy route finding with  cracks and 2 foot openings at the most.  The bergshrund before the final face is open to 10 meters and overhanging. It is possible to by pass on climbers left. Stellar trip.
