Mt Washington approach conditions?

[GregD]

Does anyone know the current conditions for Mt Washington? Specifically how much snow is still on the PCT or the North Ridge?

Thanks!

I took this shot on Tue afternoon from the PCT just N of the pass.

snow on the N ridge is a good thing - kicking steps up & plunge-stepping down beats the tedious late-season scramble.

 

however snow on the pct is not as nice, especially when snow cover on the pct causes you & your partner to miss it on the way back...though I wouldn't know anything about that first-hand of course.

7/10/08 Snow is patchy the entire way in. PCT is pretty clear...gets more continuous just before hitting the N Ridge climber's trail.

 

North Ridge route is clear of snow the entire way...but east side of ridge still has a good shelf of snow if you want to use it to bypass some of the scramble.

Thanks everyone for the info. We had a great climb.
