Status of Road to Darrington Climbs

Anyone know the status of the road to Green Giant Buttress and 3'clock? We are thinking of coming down in a couple of weeks (mid may) or is that way too early?

As of yesterday, my buddy says the road is open. There is still snow at the base of 3:00 rock and almost certainly on the approach to Green Giant Buttress, also on the Blueberry Terrace on Exfoliation Dome.

Thanks Matt

I'm going to get a trip report together in the next day or so. But when I was just up in that area (across the river though) there was fair amount of snow starting at 2000' and by 2100' it was time to walk. It was not melting out real quick but I could see where a couple days would make it much easier.

Hiked in to Green Giant Buttress on Thursday last week, and the trail was clear all the way, a fair bit of snow was at the base, but the slab was clear.
