We're heading in from Kansas City this weekend. How is the approach to Halletts, snow? Also, how does the roof on the Love Route look, dry?

"On Tuesday the 17th we made an ascent of the Love Route on Hallett Peak and found great conditions overall except for a bit of water dripping onto some of the crux pitch handholds. Other than this short section of wetness, the rest of the wall was dry and the Culp-Bossier and Jackson-Johnson routes looked completely dry as did almost every inch of this imposing North Buttress. There was still some snow and ice sitting in Hallett Chimney, but with t-shirt weather up on the cliff, it would not be the ideal time to be attempting an ice route unless one is looking for trouble (aren't most mixed climbers?).


Trail conditions into the base of Hallett's North Buttress are mostly dry trail or firm snow up to Emerald Lake. The talus approach is mostly dry until below the Chimney at which point, crampons were necessary to climb the final 500' of snow up to 35 degrees which was very firm the other morning and made for good frontpointing and flat-footing."
