Above average amounts of snow this year brought unusual conditions on the mountain for late July, the cleaver was still almost completely snow covered. Generally steep route to summit with 2 adjuncts and several crevasse crossings. Warm temps, fairly windy going up, higher winds on summit but still enjoyed my time up there. Apparently high enough winds came through Camp Muir to claim belongings of several climbers, myself included. Make sure everything is well secured before heading up on your summit bid, no matter the forecast.
