Rain and warm snow above 2000m

Warm conditions and rain to high elevations have stripped a lot of ice off of the Pinnacles today leaving the ice lines looking a little sparse. The snow conditions have improved as the rain has destroyed the hefty crust that was present up to about 2200m. With a decent freeze the smooth Melt form surface will provide good travel in the backcountry. If no freeze occurs, things will be a little sloppy.
