There are still 8-10 snow fields to contend with. The longest is a 100-150 foot avy run over the creek.

Daybreak/Ascent: All but one snow field was solid enough to walk on. Avoid the last field between the saddle and false summit. I postholed to the knee. Bypassing beneath it will only cost a few minutes. Most of the fields can be completely bypassed without losing the trail. The avy runs near the creek were solid at daybreak, but there's enough dirt, rocks and organic material to get traction with just hiking boots.

Midday/Descent: Again, avoid the highest snowfield. All others were mushy a couple inches down, but as long as I re-traced old foot prints I didn't slide much and didn't posthole.
