We traversed the Jupiter peaks on our little sapphire col hut trip and rode the Thorington route. The traverse is in pretty good shape and the boot pack well set, crampons much recommended for the crux and a few spots. There is a few nasty cornice cracks and holes on the ridge and very close to the rocks be aware. The Thorington holds very good snow on the glacier, knee deep on the top of the convexity!! There is a decent size crevasse skiers left after that convexity. Many wet loose on the south side of the traverse due to obvious warm spring conditions.
