Conditions on the North Face of the Grand Jorasses are extremely dry, with routes such as The Shroud being in very poor black-ice condition. The North Face of the Droites is looking slightly better, with teams completing the British route The Colton-Brooks and the classic The Ginat this week. The Swiss Route on the North Face of the Courtes is in excellent condition and has seen several solo ascents in the last week.
With the weather set to hold out for quite a few more days yet this could be an extremely succesful season for winter Alpinists.
