Spent the weekend out near the commander glacier and headed up towards the Cleaver on Saturday. Lots of big debris in the valley and otherwise variable snow conditions with pretty good skiing above ~2500m and lots of warming throughout the day. Rained up to about 2200m during the afternoon. We camped at ~1700m on Saturday night where it rained pretty consistently throughout the evening and overnight, with a little bit of sleet.
