Ross Lynn and I had a fine tour of the Un-named wall starting with the Elevator shaft and finishing with some Magic. Below are the route conditions we saw along the way.

Kristoffer Erickson

Elevator Shaft. Good shape, a little wet

The fat one. Good a little thin in places on the upper slab

Elevator Shaft. Black ice plastering most of the crack. Only a thin vanneer of ice on the upper portion, tricky finish

Bingo cave. Only a small amount of ice has reach the lip of the cave, draws are hanging for those interested in the Northwest Passage

Good Looking One. Great ice pillar, lots of ice

Jeff's left. Looks like it could be good soon

Magically Delicious. In excellent condition, ice on the top

Come and Get It. starting to form on top, bottom is large

Expanding Horizons. No ice

Roman Candle. Ice is starting to form but not much there

Shores of Pluto. Ice is growing on top but a long way to go

Black Magic. Good dry conditions on the lower climbing. Ice was thin at first but thickens once your 20 ft into the climbing (this would be a good candidate for a anchor for those looking to go up anytime soon, perfect station just at the top of the ice difficulties, one 60m pitch)

Nothing right of BM was in
