Hello,
Mike Stuart and I just spent the day at King Creek with the Mountain Skills Semester. The ice is in it's usual shape but of note was the 2 slides in the paths on the approach that had slid with in the past 24 hours. One of them crossed the approach trail and could easily have buried a person if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Most likely the cause was from the past strong winds and warm temperatures forming new slabs higher up. I would use caution in wind effected areas in the same general area.
Happy climbing!
