Up Vic's S Ridge today and down the Huber Ledges. We bypassed the sickle on the rock but it was awkward and I don't recommend it. Better to put on the poons and walk down the snow.
The gully to the Huber Glacier is mostly talus to the lower ice. A bit of gritty black ice leads to ok white ice. The schrund is large and the only bridge is shaky, a rappel off a v-thread is probably necessary. You could have a hard time getting up it right now. The rest of the glacier is in good shape.
