Glacier Basin,Interglacier,Steamboat Prow

From White River CG to middle of ridge atop Interglacier (9100'), noon start, 8:20pm finish @ moderate pace w/frequent breaks.

Glacier Basin trail wide and easy with frequent solid snow patches.

From GB, well-travelled path on ridge above glacial melt leads to Interglacier route.

Well-travelled, consolidated boot path leads up middle of Interglacier before angling left (obvious) at around 8000'.

Snow is in great shape; only one crevasse on your left ascending, which path skirts widely. About a dozen skiers, a few skinning up, but easier to carry skis thru the steep section. Existing kicked steps short and steady; really nice.

Carried crampons, but did not come close to using them.

Glissaded down, excellent and slow speed in soft 6pm condition (pic2).

Can use axe or, only if you're adept, poles on much of the glissade.

Camp Sherman visible from ridge starting about 8900' (pic1). Emmons route in great shape.

4800' gain, about 10.5 miles RT.
