Hello, I might be climbing The Loft later this week. Does anyone have any recent beta/pics of the conditions? Thanks

This recent Meeker update includes some photos of the Loft. I personally would favor the Iron Gates route to get up there at the moment since I would be skeptical of the quality of that snow at this point, but maybe others will chime in and say it's fine. https://www.14ers.com/php14ers/peakstat ... cnum=32034
