You should plan to do this over two days. Take 2 ice axes or tools. The ice near the top was good however we were front pointing the last 150 vertical feet.
just to get to Triangle lake from the east side is big day because you are NOT going to easily find the descent route off the Divide on your first try. be prepared for 3rd or 4th Class down scrambling. see my post on mountain project for route options and pics. besides IF you're going to go this far, stop to smell the rocks, dooop I mean flowers. awesome position to find yourself and a big commitment too.
