In case this is useful info for anyone else looking to go in the next few days (though it may already be outdated):
We went up the MR on Friday 4/29. We had planned for a 2 day, camping @ UBL or Iceberg, but weather looked bad for Sat so we did a 1 day push on Friday. We had great snow conditions until the chute, which was mostly deep very loose snow. We made it to the notch around noon, but a very deep bank of unconsolidated sugar snow turning the corner into the final 400 (or down to the easy walk off) was way to sketchy. One person attempted before us early in the morning and turned around at this point, we tried for 15-20 minutes, and a group of 4 after us tried and decided the same. All decided the gigantic runout with snow that couldn't arrest a fall, + potential avy conditions were not worth attempting. Sticking to the rock ledges on the left side of the final 400 may go, but they were iced over. More snow has fallen since then, so conditions may be different. I'll try and put up some pics of the notch tonight, but let me know if anyone would like any other recent beta.
Thanks for all the useful info on this site, we loved our time on the mountain!
