Was up there about 2 weeks ago, and the base of the North Arete was under 20+ feet of snow. There is also a 7 bolt climb next to it, I could only see the last bolt or 2. I was up in the Lakes Basin just 2 days ago, and it looks like the routes that face southeast had a very small amount of dirt/rock showing at the base. The approach will be all snow.
yeah its the 4th of july tommrow and the lakes basin is as busy as all hell right now a million people and every single campsite and hotel in town is booked solid. besides their is about ten feet of snow around lake george and above.
