Arrived at the trailhead around 9:00am. Trailhead is full but parking is available further down the road. The big stream crossing is very easy right now--easy to step across the few logs. Once you get up into the talus below the pass, keep an eye out for a quick 180 turn after you've gone below the pass itself. There is a cairn and a white arrow to mark the turn. The pass has a lot of loose stone and gravel so the steeper sections take some care.
Above the pass, the trail is in good conditions, though there are some side trails that can lead you astray. One you can see Vesper you are pretty much maintaining a straight line towards the peak. Trail is totally snow-free and mostly dry. We summited around 1:00pm, started down around 1:15pm. Returned to the trailhead around 4:30pm.
Some general advice: don't take this hike lightly. The elevation gain is no different than Mailbox or Dickerman. This is a much harder hike. Lower down, lots of deep roots and rocks make the going slower. Up in the valley, you spend significant time on talus, which is slow-going and exhausting. The upper reaches require comfort scrambling on granite slabs. Leave yourself much more margin for error. Assume it will take longer, and I would not go unless the weather report is very favorable. Getting caught in the upper reaches in wet weather would be a bad scenario.
