Anyone been up here lately and have condition beta on the route and approach I'd appreciate it.

Thinking about heading up to North Peak next weekend via Lundy Canyon. Anybody ever been up there this time of year with these snow conditions? If so, what can I expect for conditions? Is it even worth it or will there be to much snow and not enough ice? I can always drive another 2 hours and head to Whitney. Any knowledge would be great!

I have never been there this time of year, but my best guess would be that the route has very little uncovered ice right now, i.e. probably snow climbing the whole way.
Post up if you go (with pictures!)

you could save yourself about 10 hours of driving and a couple days of slogging and climb the crescent couloir in Carson Pass. you could ski it too. willing to bet that's a comparable climb right now.

Crestent Moon on Round Top would also be cool.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
