Having just returned from Blue Lake, in my view, the ice is the worse I have seen it since in my 12 annual trips there over the last 14 years. Although Blue Lake itself is frozen, the snow levels surrounding the lake are also the worse I have seen it, but this is the latest I have been in August.

However, you will find stuff to top rope and to lead, but certainly not as good as previous years or as good as it can be.

The snowy is also not frozen over, and you will have to balance carefully on the various rocky steps to cross it (from Charlotte's) or strip down to make sure you don't get your boots wet.

The snow over the last few days certainly helped, and this week may help further.
