Lone Peak Water Condition in Late August?

Does any one know if there is water up there, or do I have pack in my own as unpleasant as it sounds?

Thanks, Tom

Tom,

The snowpack runoff is very sparse or dry after mid-August usually. You may consider not camping, which is how I have done it. Start hike circa 4am and get to base of Cirque routes by 8am. That allows you to drop the camping stuff and replace it with water. Have a good time up there!

Seasonal snowpack...not a glacier...

Anyhoo...

You might have plenty of opportunity for water...based on the short term forecast. Some good spicy alpine mixed climbing conditions too:

If you go via the "Cherry Canyon Logging Trail" you can pick up your needed water at the spring more than halfway up. I don't know if the 2nd hammongog spring on the Alpine side still flows this late in the year.
