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.
