Had the same experience as CBoldt and Wild with the Glacier. Went up the chute to the left which had some fun class 3 climbing. The views were amazing!
Asleep under the stars at 12,800 Date Climbed: Sep 4, 2011
Beautiful day, great quality snow, but sketched out by the loose rock in Secor's chute, so this took a while. Ended up bivouacking a little below the summit in the Ritz Carlton's High Altitude Suite.
The ramp on the North Face was completely covered in snow, so after topping out on Banner we descended from the saddle and climbed the SE glacier direct. Made for a long but very enjoyable day. Can't believe how much snow was still above 9K!
