Anyone have any recent info on conditions for glacier gorge, or cathedral spires area? Thanks.

Bone dry......

I was in Estes over the weekend, beautiful weather, crisp mornings.....clear skies....

Get after it....

Yup, I'll second that. Ran up Longs yesterday and it looked great. If you're going over 13,000 there is some ice and snow built up on the eastern aspects from the wind/freeze-thaw cycle during the day. Came down the cable route and it isn't too far off being able to stick a pick into it. Little slippery to say the least. Absolutely no problems below 13,000 though.

I just called the RMNP backcountry office. They said the snow has pretty much melted off unless it's a sheltered (shady) aspect. If the weather stays favorable I am planning to head up there this weekend for some ridge routes (though not in GG proper) and will report back.

Thanks for the feedback.
