I was wondering if anyone here knows what the typical conditions would be in late March on this route? Thanks.

Totally depends on the winter. Temps could/should be fine, although that time of year usually sees a nasty storm come through.

If it turns out to be a huge snow year, there could be a fair bit of snow on the slabs below and possibly on the Over the Rainbow Ledge up high on the route.

But generally, I'd expect temps to be good, maybe a bit cool in the shade.

Snow and ice commonly melt off the ledges above the route creating terrifying moments. This usually happens in March... give or take.
