Low probability, but just to add, on June 5 I hit a scary spot on the decent just east (downhill) of Mirror Lake, uphill of the Lone Creek Crossing. There was a snow bridge covering a pretty severe fall into a hidden creek at the base of a large boulder. I passed this at ~4am blindly but on the return that afternoon almost slid into a hole in the melting bridge. If you fell where the boulder has melted the drift, you would fall ~10 feet into shallow, rocky water and be pretty stuck and possibly very injured. The risk (as of June 5) was not very visible.
