Does anyone know the state of the Marmolada glacier this September? Hoping to descend it after doing the via ferratta. There has been a huge amount if snow fall this year. Is it safe to cross?
In reply to tcb:

Maybe too late with this reply but what the heck. I had some worries when I did the VF later in the season a couple of years ago, but the glacier descent was no problem. It was hard bare ice when I did it and I can tell you there is very, very little in the way of crevassing, so I wouldn't worry too much even if its a bit snowy. If it is snowy, there will probably be a trench. Great VF, especially solo, have a great ascent.

Maybe too late with this reply also.

Did the West Ridge via Ferratta and descended the normal route on the 9th September. Conditions were perfect. Glacier well marked out and path well trod.
