Washington Pass Conditions

Any snow on the approach to the Liberty Bell Group (e.g. SEWS South Face, Becky Route...)?  How about the trek out to Kangaroo Temple?  How about bugs?  Just looking for a little beta. 

TIA

Just came back from there.  Tons of bugs in the parking lots and on the approach.  None once at the rocks.  (Did both Kangaroo Temple and Liberty Bell,)  No snow at all on any approach.  Snow level is pretty sad.

blue lake TH has that pond that harbors breeding of bugs but after a couple minutes walking, you are beyond those little bastards reach.  We did not see any bugs up at the rocks but I have been assaulted badly before up high.   It is rare but there is some kind of special combination that lets them live up high but not right now.

 

no snow on approach o any of the bells or spires.  there is a couple snow patches that some desperate TAY gals were making turns on this last weekend.  (like they make 5 turns in one patch)  that is dedication.
