Nice day on the Interglacier.  Skins on just a little past Glacier Basin camp.  Morning lenticular clouds and a little breeze kept things comfortably cool until around noon and  then burned off.  Topped out at 9500, just a little shy of the top of Steamboat Prow.  Snow from 9500 to 7500 pretty smooth and not sticky (though I regretted not doing a fresh hot wax)  Suncups started developing between 7500 and 6500 becomming unpleasant runnels the last 500ft to Glacier Basin camp.
