shot this on 4/19

still a ton of snow. hogsback south face is warm and perfect, but there is still snow at the base of everything else. its going to be at least a few weeks before you dont have to deal with snow at the base of everything.

i just hiked around the leap 10 minutes ago.

 campground is almost clear of snow
 the pony express trail to the east wall is clear of snow
 most of the routes are dry, but there is a lot of snow at the base of each climb
 there is still a ton of snow on the descent from the top of the main wall.
 about half the descent from the east wall has snow and half is dry

the bouldering ane south face of the hogs back are clear of snow and in great condition

you can climb at the leap now. but i wouldn't recommend it till the first or second week in may

i climbed at the leap yesterday. did the two routes on the lower buttress that dont have snow at the base: Pillar of Society and Surrealistic Direct


As you can see in the photo, there is still a bunch of snow at the base of most routes... but the rocks is mostly dry.

The boulders are in great condition. check some photos:
