4/20 Trail is easy to find and no snow until you cross the north fork. Then it’s snow walking but melting out pretty quickly. Firm in the am but mushy in the pm. Postholing not terrible on the whole route. Really fun climbing in the couloir. Save yourself lots of tricky navigation by staying low on the approach to iceberg lake and don’t stray from the gps trails ie don’t start ascending too soon.

Also if anyone knows a Rob Enns (?) climbing on or before 4/20 I found his full water bottle above LBS.

Snow level was good in the couloir? How did the final 400 look? Did you take the traverse? Or head straight up?
