I'm thinking of heading up to climb the Sundial (Mill B, Lake Blanche) on Sunday. Has anyone been up there recently? I figure there is little to no snow left on the ground, but what about on the Sundial?
A photo I saw on 5/25 was snow all the way to the base of the climb, boulders poling through. Snow on the ledge at the top of P1 and snow at the top and descent ledges/ Rap trees.
The amount of remaining snow was not significant. It appeared to be little to no snow at the lake with snow above. If the weather holds true for a warm sunny weekend there will be some rapid melt.
A week or 10 days and it could all be gone and dry.
PS. The hike up is a great hike to go light and fast here in a couple days to recon out the conditions sans ropes and gear.
