...or in a few more weeks https://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/tiogaopen.htm Look at 2017 for similar snowpack and for estimated dates applicable to this year.
"Snow removal and road repairs within the park on Tioga Road are currently ongoing, with no estimated date of reopening." from the above article

Do Lucky Streaks in the morning to avoid baking in the afternoon sun. Same for Crescent Arch.
The Yawn is a good burly 5.9 that can be linked with the Hobbit Book or the other routes on your itinerary in that area.

CALTRANS WINTER CLOSURE GATE ON STATE ROUTE 120 W (TIOGA PASS) OPENING TODAY MONO COUNTY— The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will reopen the road from the winter closure gate on State Route 120 W (Tioga Pass) to the east entrance of Yosemite National Park today at noon. Caltrans crews have completed ice, snow, and debris removal, as well as rockfall, guardrail, road and culvert repair work on this 13-mile route. Each year, Caltrans crews work diligently to reopen this section of the pass with the traveling public’s safety in mind. Caltrans District 9 maintains roadway conditions on Tioga Pass from U.S. Hwy 395, west to the east entrance of Yosemite National Park, where Tioga Road begins. Snow removal and road repairs within the park on Tioga Road are currently ongoing, with no estimated date of reopening. As winter conditions still exist, Caltrans reminds drivers to carry chains and to be prepared for winter driving conditions with a full tank of gas, blankets, water, food, a shovel, gloves, a flashlight, and sand or kitty litter to provide traction in case your vehicle becomes stuck. For the latest highway information please visit the Caltrans QuickMap site at quickmap.dot.ca.gov or call the Road Condition Hotline at 1-800-427-ROAD (7623). # For the safety of workers and other motorists, please Be Work Zone Alert. ## www.dot.ca.gov ### SR 120 [IN THE CENTRAL CALIFORNIA AREA & SIERRA NEVADA] IS CLOSED FROM CRANE FLAT (TUOLUMNE CO) TO THE TUOLUMNE/MONO CO LINE - FOR THE WINTER - MOTORISTS ARE ADVISED TO USE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE - THE EAST ENTRANCE TO YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK REMAINS CLOSED I just checked that today on cal trans website

heres an update
Tioga Road June 12, 2019 Tioga Road will remain closed at least through this weekend (June 15–16); this does not imply it will open just after the weekend—there is no estimated date for opening. Opening work continues, especially near Olmsted Point. The road is closed to all entry, including vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. This closure is being enforced. Snowpack in the Tuolumne River basin was at 149% of average this year as of May 1. View a list of previous opening dates. Highways 108 and 4, north of Yosemite, have opened for the season.

I'd suggest bombs over Tokyo, cooke book (face out in the little wide part) and or crescent arch in a day over west crack for your Tuesday. Blown Away is really great but west crack is just ok. That way you would keep consistency in the grade on your day with lot's of 10a mileage on the same formation. Easy to walk around leave a lunch, water in a bag and relax at the base of crescent before you finish the day. Cooke book is great. Sounds like altitude won't bother you. So many awesome things to do. always wanted to do razor's edge above OZ. If you are old like me I would do what you plan on. You might suffer but who cares. No alcohol and get great sleep. Maybe take one day to tune up but if you are really old like you say you know every day of hiking, rope handling, and dehydration adds up in non-stop days. I think if you are pulling hard with many years in the saddle you know what you can do. Pull the trigger, send it day one and then get the other stuff in.
