Conditions on the Spearhead Range glaciers are as dry as can be expected for this time of year. Lot's of exposed ice on all but the highest elevations. Expect rockfall from pretty much any of the steeper ice/glaciers in the range if they have any rock at the top edges or imbedded mid-slope. Recent warm temps and any rainfall in the future will keep melting out embedded rocks even on the standard slopes - always be looking up!
