and took no photos until arriving at Dry Lake after 3 hours, reasonable time considering I was carrying a bear canister, tent, sleeping bag, stove and fuel, etc. I lucked out and found a nice dry patch to camp on, unusual since everything else was covered in several feet of snow. I got water at Lodgepole spring, saving a lot of snow melting effort and fuel. Overnight low was 16 degrees (Brrr!) according to 2 rangers camped nearby. I knew it was cold because I needed clothes in my 15 degree rated bag. The next morning I realized I had forgotten the oatmeal and coffee, so I had to breakfast on hot water poured over a Powerbar 
Not recommended. I was away by the crack of 8:00, not exactly an alpine start. As I crossed the frozen snow pan of Dry Lake, I noticed another climber on the other side of the lake. It turned out to be Brian M, who was also solo. We decided to climb the second chute from the left, since the others had either a lot of slabby looking snow or dry patches or both. We started up the chute around 9:00 am and were at the top shortly after 11:00. The angle of the chute was lower than I expected, 35 degrees at most. On the ascent, the lower portion was perfect for cramponing, but there was some powdery, slabby snow in the middle section which caused us to move left onto the ridge for awhile. Later we moved back into the chute and continued to the top. On the descent we just plunge stepped through this section which speeded the descent considerably. I was back at my camp by 1:00 and back at the car by 4:30. Photos (such as they are

Dave G, I obviously need some Flickr lessons too, don't quite have that ordering / set thing down yet
Should post some more / better ones tonight or tomorrow, expecting some photos from Brian.
Brian wanted to descend in time to practice snow anchors before walking out, and I was OK with that, having summited San G. half a dozen times or so. I just wanted to climb the face. But I thought you went Saturday? If I had known Sunday was your summit day I would have tried to intercept you guys. I might have had to confiscate some of those unauthorized beverages though... sort of a citizen's arrest if you know what I mean
