Saw the last few days of "September Summer" with very dry and warm
conditions in the alpine. There was no freeze at our camp at 2220m on the
east side of Mummery Gl. From our camp the approach to the standard route
(SE ridge) of Mummery was long and circuitous.
Of note, on glacier ice above 2700m (9000 ft) the late August storm snow has
settled into a sticky, moist snow layer up to 60cm deep. This layer is
bonding very well to the old snow surface.
