Don't know, had to turn back. No crampons.

@skymark, how was it today?

From the wall to the saddle it's completely dry, and on the snowfield footprints are made so on descent I didn't need crampons, but I used them in the morning when it was still hard and there were no footprints.

Of course talking about the snowfield before entering the climbing section... I was there yesterday.

This morning when I was there it was hard. Footprints were visible but not pronounced. I preferred not to continue.

Today on Brana;19.5.2015
Crossing snowfield quite ok.
Up top gale-force wind (weather forecast off again!!)

Hurricane wind, so immediately back down.

Uuu, is there another snowfield up there. Did you cross without crampons?

snowfield a bit above saddle on way to summit was passable without crampons Sunday morning - footprints made and simply go along them, of course need to be a bit more careful i.e. concentrated on safe step. Can avoid this snowfield by going on path parallel to snowfield path, just runs some 10m lower than the one on snowfield, two went up that path on Sunday too and it's well visible. Then joins upper path anyway.
