Re: the weather. I just discovered that you can get hourly forecasts.

Note that Tuesday is "summer monsoon" weather but Wednesday not quite the typical pattern. Wednesday has basically a constant % chance of precipitation all day of 30-40%.
Re: Lambs Slide. I didn't climb it but was at the base yesterday (bailed on Kieners). The couloir was totally in. I didn't take pictures, unfortunately. Reports were good cramponing on firm snow, a little icy but not yet total ice.

OK, thanks everyone for the info. Looks like at least Lamb's Slide is definitely a good option. If anyone happens to have a look at, or hear about the Flying Dutchman, I'd be very curious.

Has anyone been up the Loft route recently? If so, what are the snow conditions up along the top and keplinger's couloir? I plan to do Meeker and Longs.
