Thinking of doing The Ten Essentials this week. Anyone have any information on the quality of the face/ridge or the descent? Seepy, snowy, or in good shape? Has anyone been anywhere else in the park lately? Thanks for any conditions updates you can offer.

Spearhead pano.

This photo was taken exactly one month ago. The snow was between 6 and 20 feet deep.

Not Spearhaed, but I was up on the Petite last Sunday (May 22nd) and it was smooth sailing lower down. Made it to the Loch in an hour, minimal snow on the trail. After the Loch it was snow covered but we were fine with micros all the way to the base. Rock was dry and no snow at all.

thanks everyone for you input. May give Spearhead another few weeks to melt out...
