We rode:

The day was:

Pretty good refreeze overnight with a 7 am start from the car. Throwing on regular crampons and just booting up the waterfall made it go much quicker than fighting it. Ski crampons helpful for the top portion of the glacier. Didn’t do the rock step as it was a bit more involved than anticipated but other groups did without much discontent.

Down low was plenty warm by the afternoon and from waterfall down was corny. Would not want to be riding that luge track in a big freeze.

No real concerns of note, minimal wind and sun, pretty locked in snowpack, beautiful day all day long and good vibes at the Col.
