Great day to be out on the mountain, definitely t-shirt weather. Got a lazy start at around noon, made the first entrance @ ~8200 at around 2:15. Found slightly over-ripe corn, which was nevertheless enjoyable, on sunny slopes. Wind-affected icy crust on ridge crests. Broke left around the moraine and regained the ridge @ glacier vista. Definitely a worthwhile trip. Forgive the lackluster photos, left the camera at home
