Vedauwoo conditions?

Was thinking about a short trip and was wondering how the conditions are. Wet, snow? Etc. Thanks for the help.

The gate(s) at the campground entrance are locked, but you would not get far anyway, with drifts many - like 5-10 - feet deep in places. With that said the rock is dry and warm enough in the sun.

Last Sunday the gates were open for the parking lot right before the fee station. Se and s facing routes on nautilus, coke bottle and Walt's wall were good to go. As long as its not too windy then its really superb conditions right now. North facing routes on nautilus were not wet just chilly. There are some 4-5 foot snow drifts you have to walk over to get to coke bottle but it wasn't too bad. A lot of the snow is packed down.

anyone got an update?

Conditions are good as of yesterday. You'll have to ask for something more specific - but most climbs on Nautilus are good to go. Some of the cracks on the N face have ice in them but Lower progressive/handjacker don't (on the S side of nautilus). Walt's wall/coke bottle has a little bit of snow (climbers R of edward's crack) and above mainstreet. There are just some large snow patches above right now.

Road is good to the Nautilus parking lot, but the road to walt's wall is drifted (3-4 ft) but easily walkable to walt's wall.

Is the Tie Siding short cut open?
