The ranger said it snowed yesterday and last night (4" total Tuesday according to mtn shop), and also several days before. It did stick, she said. If anybody happened to attempt to get on specific climbs from the last couple of days on, I'd greatly appreciate a mention of which climb you were on, how climbable it was, description of conditions, etc. Thanks.

I'm also very interested in hearing what the conditions are like! Any input would be awesome.

In particular, condition beta on Manure Pile Buttress & Nutcracker would be awesome.

It'll be fine. Look at the webcam. It's in the sun all day too.

It only takes about a day for a lot of stuff to dry off up there. Should be fine.
Nutcracker does have some seepage on the 3rd pitch after storms. Probably no big deal right now.

Thanks for the replies so far. Has anybody at least been at the base of a classic if not climbed it since the time of the original post?
