Ran up Yale today. Left from the trail head at 6 am. Some of the trees before tree line are still trying to hold on to a little snow but nothing to worry about. Pretty large snow fields as you head up the steep section towards the ridge, frozen pretty hard at 7 am, would've been nice to have some micro spikes but I made it ok in running shoes though I stayed left of the snowfields and gained the saddle on dry boulders. Summit at 8am back down by 915. Not a soul in sight until the last mile or so before the parking lot.
