Has anyone been up the north face recently? Looking to climb July 30/31. Any info on conditions would be appreciated.

TDC, I was up on University about a month ago. Here is a photo with the route highlighted. There was patchy snow up to Bench Lake and then snow up to the base of University Peak. I was able to climb mostly rock from that point until the summit ridge. I encountered a couple small patches of icy snow near the summit that I crossed using an ice axe. By now, I'm sure that most of the snow is probably gone, but maybe someone else has more current info on the conditions.
