Yosemite - Snow Free?

[rbwen]

Having never climbed in Yosemite before I am wondering when it is usually snow-free enough to start spring climbing? Specifically Royal Arches?

 

Thanks for any info.

Here is a cool cam that is trained on Half-dome. And though it doesn't directly answer your question, you can view a multi-day image and then stop it at about the time of year you're planning to go and get an idea.

 

I think I got this link from this site. Anyway, there are also a lot of other cams too. Rainier is another good one.
