I summited June 27, 2015, from Guitar Lake, and exited toward the Portal. There was very little snow on the trail tread, probably amounting to no more than 50 linear feet of trail in all, and none that required routing around it. The snow/ice posed no problems at all, just exercise caution.

The lowest elevation snow is at the upper entrance to the cable handrails, as described in the earlier report, but I did not encounter ice on the trail there. Snowmelt drips onto the trail all day and keeps it wet, however the overnight temperatures that week were above freezing. The snow is persisting on the trail yet there is room to walk between the snow and the cables. Passing hikers in the other direction might be uncomfortable in a few places.

There was fresh water available along the trail between Trail Camp and the cable handrails.
