Here's a Sky Kilo (inspired) brief report. At the end is a link to my complete report.
Spent 3 days heading up Glacier Peak about a week ago. Conditions were excellent. Found continuous snow on the the White River Road ~ 3 miles before the end. There were patches here and there on the way to Lightning Creek.
We ended up camping on a 7100-ft pass after skinning directly to it. We pitched our tent on the Honeycomb Glacier.
The next day we ascended up to the summit via the Cool Glacier Route. From the summit we dropped the Chocolate Glacier HW and found some nice 45-50 degree powder until about halfway down when it turned to ice.
On the glacier we descended a few thousand feet, eventually making a slight traverse to the lower Cool Glacier. From there we dropped down to 4800-ft for a nearly continuous descent of ~6000-ft. Awesome. We climbed back up the Suiattle Glacier to camp.
