melt-freeze: 1.3 °C at 11:00 then -0.9 °C at 18:00 — expect bulletproof/rime crust. Crampons + ice axe; firm slips are a top AU injury cause.

▲ poor visibility / whiteout — high severity
poor — visibility 100 m (<1 km) — navigation + terrain assessment hard; whiteout is a leading AU rescue cause. Carry a compass/GPS bearing plan and known bail lines.
▲ icy surface (melt-freeze) — watch severity
melt-freeze: 1.6 °C at 11:00 then -0.6 °C at 18:00 — expect bulletproof/rime crust. Crampons + ice axe; firm slips are a top AU injury cause.
