I've read (not heard or seen first hand) that these climbs are getting warmer every year (and drier the longer you wait to climb them)
Check the Alpinist website, and talk to the Talkeetna Rangers, they usually have a good idea of who's done what and what's going on up there, and they love to talk to climbers this time of year.
You've prob already done this though.
I would be interested to see any trip reports anyone would be willing to post in the Alalska Range.

There are two VEry good guidebooks for the Alaska Range available, one is the Combs/Woods book, an the other is a Supertopo book by Joe Puryear. Both are excellent, with the Supertopo book being the best in my opinion.

I know Ham & Eggs was in last year because my buddy climbed it. I'll see if I can't get some photos from him and post them up. Are you planning a trip to climb it?

And by the way Alaska Ice is alive and well. I've only been here two months but the locals are saying this is the best ice they have had in awhile.

I was up there two summers ago to climb Ham and Egg's. We were there early june and rock-climbed about halfway up before turning around. Just get there early so that there will be ice. Also, if you are just planning on going in for Ham and Eggs, fly to the upper glacier. The root canal can be somewhat innerving at times.
