Cold and icy between 2200 and 2500m as of this afternoon. LOTS of thin clear ice in gullies and on the trails. I scraped ice off the exposed sections of the Huber Ledges trail for at least 100m today. Easy ground but with clear ice it was pretty sporty and easy to make a high consequence mistake on.
Ice is forming up in lots of moderate angle gullies so there may just be something to swing your tools into if temps stay cool! Little to no melting at all above 2300m. And anything that did melt will likely be icy again tomorrow morning .
Feels like the 1st day of fall.
