Current NSW Alpine climbing conditions . . . 4-Aug-2015 At 10:30:05 PM Damien Gildea

Conditions pretty good, plenty of ice but quite a bit of snow on top of much of it. Some areas are quite bare, showing grass, and some of the rock buttresses are bare of ice in places they often have some. Other rock areas have climbable sheets of rime in places there is often nothing.

Cornice on the main gully is big and thick but not huge, a little avo debris but both main gullies are thick with snow, whereas the eastern gully leading up toward Twynam is quite bare.

Snow conditions on the way in were great low and mid-level but very icy high up. All over some of the best general backcountry conditions I've seen for years. Pretty much all non-4WD were using chains for the second half of the Guthega Road, though you could just get by without them. Weather came in after lunch, high winds and lots of spindrift down the cliffs.
