Some buddies went up a couple of weeks ago and found Ice Nine dry, so they did the right couloir (they signed the summit log on SP, maybe you've already PM'd them). They reported up to 50 degree ice in the lower part, snow-covered rock in the upper part. From the pics it looked like they had a good time
I bet the talus on the far side of Lamarck Col with all the fresh snow is just lovely ..
I wonder if the waterfall pitch on the East Couloir of Split Mtn has formed up by now, or if it is still a waterfall
