Current Hood NF conditions?

[PuckerJunkie]

Anyone know if the NF gullies are still in?

 

How late do these usually stay in?

I have climbed them as late as the first of July ... which was right after the road was opened. Which this year was yesterday.

I climbed right gully in fat, prime condition first week of June once.. This year should be just as or even fatter, based on snowfall and recent weather. I bet they're still in right now... But rapidly gonna fade out. Better get on that shit!

Any Leuthold or Cooper Spur summit attempts in last few days? Wondering whether if I might expect the snow to be reasonably protectable (self belay, etc.) this week. Thank you.
