Mountain Conditions
Sunday 18th April 2021, 07:46hrs: Our cooler & wetter than "normal" Autumn continues this week. NW gales and rainfall continue, with the occasional SW flick to drop some snow onto the Alps. Ground temperatures are still very warm so new snow doesn't stick around beyond a couple of days on the sub-ranges, though a building dusting is apparent on the Main Range above 1750m.
Climbers report that most glaciers/ice-fields are still passable with care; bergschrunds on the larger glaciers (Crow, White) are hauling apart and cut-off is imminent. Some ice-fields are disappearing again (eg. the Otira Face shelf, and under Mt Speight), Glaciers such as the Rolleston and Goldney are now mere ice-fields covered in moraine. Further high level snow during the week may disguise some crevasse and bergschrund hazards for a time afterwards!
