Has any one been up the South Fork lately? Was just wondering the condition of the glacier and the chutes. Do most people camp around Finger Lake.

Thanks

I was last there on 6/24. The approach to camping at Finger Lake is dry and buggy. Above Finger Lake you'll have patches of snow until the glacier. The medial moraine/final approach is probably patchy. The route had snow patches, but was totally climbable at the time I was there. Got to be better now.
Enjoy.

There are a few spots at Finger Lake to set up a small tent. Most of them are melted off by now. Here are a couple pictures from July 5:


Middle Pal, Normal Clyde Peak, and the glaciers from July 5

Thanks Guys for the update, nice pictures Kurt weather and route look great. Looking forward to the trip.
