Does anybody know how the route Total Abandon, on the north face of Pikes Peak, is around this time of year? I'm not sure how much ice there would be on it but it may have some and would still be a cool mixed route. Any info or condition reports would be great. Thanks

The peak just got some snow, so expect new ice in a day.
As of 3 weeks ago, the lower third consisted of thin, patchy dried out ice. Rock gear recommended. Crux pillar was still in though. Some pockets of Avy hazard on the hero traverse and the gully leading up to the climb. Cheers.
