PT conditions late august?

[aaaa]

I'm thinking of coming from out of town for the Ptarmagin traverse towards the end of this month. Are conditions still pretty good-- especially at LeConte glacier?

 

thanks in advance,

I did it last year at this time and it wasn't bad. If the LeConte glacier looks impassible you can circle around the North side of LeConte mountain to South Cascade Lake and reach the South Cascade Glacier that way. Its quite scenic. This is a good time to do the traverse because the masses have already passed through. We had excellent weather last year and didn't see anyone else until Dome Peak.
