First 2.4 miles - Mostly dry trail, no snow or ice left. The waterfall near elev 1000 is ripping.
Climb up ridge - There is some water draining on trail from recent rain but easy to get past. Trail mostly dry up to about 2700 ft elev were there are patches of snow up to 2900 ft. Easy to get past. No spikes needed. Above 2900 ft mostly dry trail to summit.
One hiker reported that between Middle and North Moat there are still sections of deepish snow with melt water underneath.
