Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 6:57 pmI haven't seen Lambs Slide recently, but I've read of people involuntarily sliding down Mills Glacier last weekend. The snow I've encountered in the Park in the last month was consistently firm. I'd bring crampons. Light-weight, strap-on crampons would do just fine.

Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:30 pmThanks. I was certainly going to bring crampons and an axe. My question was whether or not I'd need ice screws to get onto Broadway. Has it been quite sunny lately?

the sun hit). Very good conditions.
