Ridge climb on Mt Washington

I climbed Henderson Ridge on Mt Washington last year and am looking to get out there and do it again. Anybody know generally when the ridges are good to rock climb? I'd imagine the issue will be snow buildup on all the tallus in between the trail and the ridge. Anybody climbed Henderson or the Northeast Ridge in late April?

June..

In all honestly late April is possible, but less likely. Certainly varies year to year, and this year we've gotten quite a bit of snow. If your looking to plan something in advance, you'd best play it safe and wait longer because it could easily be mid-May before you want to head up.

Late May or June for sure, there's a ton of snow there right now.....and they've been getting snow there the last few days.
