Last weekend we opened climbing season. Old chap Mt Backer from south approach. It was not snowy winter this year, and all crevasses are already open. But it was sunny and warm.
From forest though alpine meadows to glacier. Water in springs is very low.
View from the camp.
We were very lazy and started at 7-30 only. But it doesn’t matter at this snow conditions.
