Overall impression
Snow condition
hmm, snow... what was that again??? Really little. I have the feeling that there used to be more here in the fall. Stones almost everywhere. Stones again and again on the descent to the starting point of the tour. As almost always, the crevasses on the way to the summit are limited. Only in the area below the summit are they quite open. Sometimes it's really tight to have any snow at all on the tour.
Snow quality
There's everything that's only partially fun: wind-pressed, frozen, wind-covered, etc. Only very rarely do you find nice, rideable snow.
Risks
No level according to the LLB. It also mentions the risk of falling through crevasses as the greatest danger. I would also mention the many rocks.
Overall impression
I've never seen the glacier with so little snow. I can't remember seeing so little snow on this tour either. Nice to be out in good weather. Probably one of the few opportunities for a nice tour at the moment. For me, after last week's attempts at skiing and this tour, that was it for skiing until it snows again.
