Up the standard route on Mount Matier a few days ago. The Anniversary Glacier
is still in good condition. A few crevasses becoming problematic above the col,
but still avoidable to the west. Crampons needed in the AM on the approach and
on the face of Matier. Bergshrund passable by a snow bridge on the far right
and left, we used the right side. Ice for the top 1/3 of the climb, ice screws
were useful. Still snow all the way down to the Moraines at the base of the
Glacier.
Have fun out there.
