The snow cover was good overall, even though it was quite instabile at places due to the strong wind the days before. But it needed a lot more snow for skiing I guess. The ropes are hanging in the lower rock band (the crux). They look old and I was not keen to test their strength by pulling in them.
I had a rope in my bag in case I would need if for anything, e.g. to self-belay or abseil in case something happened. But I never ended up using the rope.
