Team Vermont Trip Report from the Ruth Gorge

Team Vermont came back yesterday all glacier tanned and bright eyed from the Ruth Gorge. They were out for thirteen days, did some nice routes, took some beautiful photos and gave us this report from the area:
Ruth Gorge camp, conditions are changing rapidly into summer mode. We had two weeks of perfect weather. Japanese Couloir is slush, needs a really cold night. We did freezy nuts, also needs a cold night. Did Ham and Eggs, all the ice is slush and gone, probably will be the last ones in there. Crevasses are opening up quickly and snow bridges are shrinking. Rock routes are starting to come in. Gold fingers still wet. Good conditions. Every day was hot weather!
