See attached pics and make your own mind up. The Post Face looks very banked with Centre and South Post Direct Probably no harder than 3. Last Post and North post looked in good nick with particularly good looking ice on the crux of North Post. Staghorn and South Pipe Direct were similarly banked out. On the Inner Coire Pumpkin, The Wand and Diadem were all there and looked in good nic although unable to determine the quality of the ice. Smiths and Ritchies were both loaded with snow and almost certainly all ice is buried under vertical powder. The Fly and 59 Face route incomplete. Route of the moment is definately the Crab Crawl which looked magnificent
