Ipsoot Mountain from Miller Creek, over 2 days. Access from relatively straightforward with east travel through old growth. Evidence older size 2-3 slides were observed on the approach. Likely came down with the rain storms last week. Signficantly larger slides observed on S aspects with smaller only lower elevation slides on N aspects. Good coverage on the glacier, with some very large icefalls near the toe. Crevasses appeared to be filled in enough to avoid roping up. Completed over 2 days
