Video trip report attached. If you haven't done this one, it should answer any questions you might have.
I arrived to the TH just after 7am, so that I could beat the heat and most of the other folks. A few backpackers were heading down as I went up, and as I was coming down, the next batch of backpackers was heading up. It made for minimal contact. (No offense to you fellow hikers)
There are 2 or 3 logs to hop, but they weren't much of a hindrance.
The snow patches.mentioned in prior reports are virtually gone and don't extent onto the trail any more. They will probably be gone in a couple days.
It's hot once you get out of the forest cover, and there is no water after the 4 water crossings in the forest, so make sure you have adequate hydration. It's hot up there.
The views from the Katwalk area are mindblowing. Wildflowers were in bloom along the slopes of Kendall Peak.
Absolutely incredible trail.
