G'day,
We were down there touring and climbing Fri-Sun. We started on the verticals just right of central gully on blue lake. Access knee deep but stable. Ice itself was plentiful but pretty rotten (normal). The low angled slabs 150m further SE looked solid and another party were having no issues on that.
Still patches of water on the lake but OK to traverse around the edges on E-N-W sides. Coverage still marginal at lake level and below and often plunge through to bushes, even on skis.
Ended up skiing the rest of the time which was excellent on the higher lee slopes. Looked across at Sentinel/Watsons from top of Carruthers. Good snow coverage but hard to spot any ice from that distance.
Have a good trip !!
