 With the return to more summer like weather
conditions on the west coast more people are finally
heading back into the hills. 
 Snow coverage on the glaciers is still very good for
this time of year, but do not forget that things are
changing fast with the warm temps.
 Travel on the snow has generally been very good no
mater what time of the day your out at.
  Creeks are still higher than normal so if your trip
involves a river crossing you may want to do some more
research about current access.
 Most multi pitches are now dry in Squamish, however
after all that rain some are a bit dirty from water
flow,so you may want to take a nut tool each to clean
out the crack a bit. 
Have fun. Craig McGee
