I just recieved some pictures shot and sent by Salvador Rosello, with whom I went climbing on june 26th. May be, these pictures could be helpful to update the ice condition in the website. Conditions on june 26th: -The hike to the Coliceo sector from the entrance has a lot of snow, but only from a little bit higher up than "Los Hornitos". Rakets or skis may be advisable. For going to Las Galias, the way is mostly free of snow. -A lot of annoying snow over the ice in Coliceo's waterfalls, as well as in Quo Vadis. Routes like "Los Dedos De Galvarino" and "Moctezuma" in the Coliceo sector are easier than how they were when they were opened 3 weeks earlier. Now they felt like WI 3 and WI3+ respectively (I led both, and confirmed) -Terminator was reported, by A. Zegers, to be snow free, and aroud WI4 clasico. (Description of the pictures: in pepehielo2.jpg I am leading Los Dedos De Galvarino in Andres_Moctezuma.jpg Andres is Toproping a harder variation of Moctezuma in moctezuma.jpg , well the waterfall seen from beside The other pictures correspond to the name of the file)

View to Coliseo, Altar Falso and Paloma behind

	Gladiator and Ben Hur seem to be in good condition. In the right part of the classic left waterfalls there seem to be some interesting stalagtites.

Quo Vadis looks good while Terminator seems to be a little poor still. (seen from Germany, Martin Waldhör)
