hello,
I dayhiked it this past weekend on March 25, 2016. Conditions were ideal. Its hard to tell what they will be in april as if now, but my partner and I each carried 3 liters. The last available water source for us was at lower boyscout lake. Everything from there on up was frozen. I suggest chugging at least a liter before you start. We left the portal at 1 am and summited by 1:30pm. Yes, long day with no sleep or acclimating! Then back to our vehicles by 11 pm. Wind is variable, you will not really know until that week. Also, for the final 400, do you plan on roping up? There are 3 different routes up, so eye the one you would want to do and plan accordingly! If you have any other questions you can email me at sarahtitandaou@gmail.com
as far as the e ledges, there might be enough snow to where you can bypass them, but i suggest doing them and staying on "trail" they are not bad at all, and im a wuss!
best of luck!
