Comments

Very warm day out, especially on the glacier which was getting baked in the sun with little to no wind. We saw cornice debris on the glacier which presumably came from the features on the south side. On the north end of the glacier, we heard rock fall and found some fallen rocks. Cornices are looming over the NE slope before the summit block and one is quite large (see photo).
