I would say the glacier is holding quite a bit right now. In fact, the whole east face above the lake still has great coverage all the way to the lake. The snow in the early morning was very firm, and would be quite climable. Either side still looks good.

Snow- Gotta Love ItNicely written TR. Sounds like an exciting day in the Rockies. Great Pics too. Sounds like St. Mary's Glacier is holding some climable snow?
