In reply to Chris Craggs: the North face is in excellent condition now, I was in the group that opened the Frendo a month back and also skied it on Monday. It wasn't the first for a decade, it got skied a couple of years ago. Ross got some great pics from Monday, the conditions were all time, check them out-

I also opened the Mallory solo on Sunday, making an integral descent with no rappels. I think the first since 1999. Will be updating my blog soon www.Ben-Briggs.com
