Snowfield still in starting around ~13,000', ended up going up the direct route then climbed beneath the summit for a nice glissade out. Was able to pull off all the 22-25 miles off in one day, thankfully. Word of caution, though, while the gully above the lake is low threat in the morning, it's literally water rapids in the afternoon, which may affect your descent route. Try to avoid going too far to the right if you can as you're descending so you don't get sketched over the solid scree slopes. As for the log jam, don't go for the one at the far western end where it turns into lake, as the route description describes, instead go for the log jam next over downstream, easier to connect the dots there.
