Just below the two finishes. Left is Open Casket, right is Closed Casket. All the white in the bottom of CC is steep loose snow broken by a small rock step down low. The runnels you see above that were pretty sublimated and brittle. I never got to the fat stuff further up.

A small piece of the second slogfest. A very small piece!
The second step of ice, here in WI4+ conditions. This is the one you can't easily bypass. It was longer than it looked- a fun pitch.
