Did Columbia via the southeast ridge and traversed over to Harvard and descended into Horn Fork Basin for a full loop. Previous report for Columbia is pretty much identical (mostly dry until last bit on the ridge), so just updating for Harvard. Still a lot of snow low on the traverse, but you can avoid pretty much all of it the closer you stay on the ridge proper. Moves in general range low 3rd class up to 5th class on Rabbit Ridge proper depending on your routefinding. Still a lot of snow down Harvard's standard route. Can avoid a lot of it if you stay closer to the ridge

How did the conditions in the Basin look for camping?

Ran into a couple groups who camped right at about treeline. Reasonably dry as long as you stay out of the willows
