Are the Orion Face routes still in any climbable nick?

In reply to Andy Cloquet:

No and they haven't for the past few weeks!

In reply to Stuart the postie:

what about Point 5?

In reply to Andy Cloquet:

They are very snowy at the moment and thus quite buried. I saw the face from a distance yesterday and was at the bottom of it last weekend. There is / will be ice underneath, so i would think that an ascent would be possible sometime in the next couple of weeks given the right forecast, just perhaps not right now.
It looked like a significant amount of snow had fallen in the last couple of days of cold weather, so winter certainly hasn't ended yet.
