Paul and Tom skiied from Muller hut to Barron Saddle hut. Out via Sladden Saddle and slightly exposed traverse around to Williams glacier, back via Muller glacier, then climbed from 1430m on the Muller glacier back up to the Annette snow plateau--straightforward climb and avoided having to walk through any morraine. Snow conditions were good even in May (skiied/skinned almost everything), but an ice axe was nice to have in a few places. |
