Weather has been crazy in the last days and we arrived welcomed by a few centimeters of fresh snow that fell during the night! The snow quickly melted down and neither let the blocs wet thanks to the dry wind blowing!! This means conditions for climbing were perfect! First we went to Boogalagga sector.
