I got some good photos of the Sloan Glacier last weekend (yesterday, actually). I'll post a photo later this week. Passing by the trailhead (Cougar Creek) on Saturday morning there were three cars there. On Monday night one car there. So somebody's doing something up there. Bedal Peak is also up thattaway.

 

The glacier itself is highly receded compared to my memory of it back in 1995 (wow, 10 years ago! time flies). Hell, it even looks like you could traverse slabs underneath it to get to the other side. I don't know about seracs calving, though.

As promised, Sloan Peak and the Sloan Glacier from the east (from "Baekos Peak") on Sept. 26, 2005:

The normal route comes up to the glacier from the right. And now that I look at the picture, traversing underneath the glacier wouldn't do you any good because it would miss the Corkscrew ledge all together.
