The route is dry, not patch of snow at all on the back. Trail quite recognizable where it crosses under summit block. Still water near the bottom of the decent... still bugs waiting in the meadows.
One caution, 15minutes up the Verdant trail junction there are some big trees down.
Under one of the first ones (the biggest one) there is a hornet/wasp nest.
Didn't stop long enough to differentiate.
