Scramble route completely snow free. The trail had some snow patches on the NE side of the summit but no snow gear required.
Weather was mostly cloudy but dry. Still a bit muggy on the way up. We did the optional gully that cuts between trail sections. That ups to a T3 rock scramble and makes the trip a little more fun over all. Lots of gnats, especially in the freshly melted snow near the top. Summit had a variety of rodents, including mice, chipmonks, pikas and possibly a vole. One marmot seen in the distance on the North East ridge. 6.5 hours round trip. Very nice day over all.
