St. Helens Conditions

Does anyone know what St. Helens has been like recently? I'm going up Saturday -- thought I'd bring an ax, and crampons just in case.

I've climbed it a few times, and never taken and axe or crampons. . . But, it was a little later than right now, July, and they weren't necessary. .
Again, it's all conditional. .

Thanks for that resource, dskoon! Sure enough, someone wrote a brief report about Helens yesterday.
