I really appreciate these reports, especially since I will be there in two weeks. (and... congratulations!)

There seems to be a huge disparity in description amongst trip reports. I don't mean to be argumentative, but is this just perspective?

This one from 7/17, two days earlier:

"On Sunday we woke up at 4 am, started climbing at 4:49 am, and I got to the summit at 11:25 am. There was a little bit of snow along a few sections of the route, which slowed down the hiking some, but not much. The snow was well packed by footprints, so we never sank in or got our hiking boots wet."

sounds so different, almost like the snow was totally incidental
