At blue lake, early season (june/july) is best because the snow builds up and shortens the routes. Also the ampitheatre is very shady during this time so sun isn't really a problem. The snow thing doesn't seem to be as much of a problem at buller, but still early season is good for the shorter days (=less daylight to melt the ice). At buller you pretty much have to hit it after a clear night with a good freeze and early, before the sun comes onto it, or else in the middle of a cold, snowy snap (and it has to be a proper one). The real killer is the warm nor-westers, where the weather is windy and crap and feels cold but isn't.

Last season I went to Buller about 8 times and it was climbable on about 6 occasions I think.
