Road is clear to the TH. I don't think they really got any snow last Thursday. At least not anywhere near what was forecast. Trail is dirt/snow/ice mix the first half mile and then hard packed uneven snow up to tree line. Used spikes once I hit first icy patches. Snow was hard and well travelled all the way to the top before sunrise and continued using spikes to my summit at 6:30am. Hung out for a few and descended quickly on my spikes. Snow was starting to get soft even at 7:00.

Thanks for this report. Was able to convince my party to do an alpine start on Quandary today, and we were all very glad we did!
