Comments
We started Friday at around 10am 1degree at parking lot. Easy travel into the trees, then reaching alpine it was moderate to strong gust blowing snow low visibility made us camp at the toe of the glacier. Next morning was a treat - sun and clouds, good for engaging glacier travel. The snow was wind affected and I probed couple times depth of snow on glacier varies between 150cm - 175cm.
