Ah yes, sorry, going back south there can be a steep snow patch below the forcella but no glacier. Be aware the cable can also be iced in to the face on its upper reaches. The cable isn't continuous to the forcella but the bits you walk are fairly benign. If you can get an update on the Ferrata conditions before you start your climb that'd help. The bit from the hut to the top of the cable is a glacier that ends in a rather precipitous drop through cliffs on the north side. You're aware if it if you've ever approached from the north. So whilst technically it's not difficult or particularly steep on the bit you'd cover. I'd be very wary of trying that without crampons. But we all choose our own level of risk.
