Anyone know if Lover's Leap is clear of snow yet? If I'm targeting this Thursday (4/29) or Friday for Corrugation, should I expect it to be fully dry?

These are pic from my hope up pyramid peak (across from LL) these were taken 4/25, hopefully they are helpful.

Thanks Samuel that's extremely helpful! Looks snowy on the bigger ledges but we're hoping the faces are dry.

How was the snow around the top of pyramid?

The faces are dry. You'll be fine.

There wasn’t a TON of snow, but snowshoes helped with grip when it was icy in the morning and kept us on top of the slush in the afternoon.

Has anyone done the descent from the main wall recently? I'm looking to climb Corrugation Corner tomorrow and was wondering if I should plan on bringing yaktrax or the like. Thanks!

Nah don’t bring em. You’ll be fine. There was one small bit of snow (maybe 3 meters long) my partners and I traversed; it’s above a gully and you wouldn’t want to slip there. But it had some nice steps in it and was melting fast. This was last Friday so could be gone by the time you get there. Some friends of mine avoided it by going up and around and they said their way was chill too.

Have fun!

The campground is open.

28 dollars a night gets you a camp host who only collects your cash and everything else you already got prior to it having a fee. And only 10 dollars for an extra car. What a deal
