Good frost last night. The lake below the Uto/Sir D col was frozen over. The snow on the way up to the col was hard but avoidable except for the last 10 m traverse to the approach ledges. The N face was quite snowy and fresh snow was on the S and W face on the upper 1/3 of Sir D, but melting during the day. The recent rockfall  just above the Pearly rock trail intersection is easily walked through and does not appear to be still active. No bugs.
