Did this as a day run up Mount Olympus.
The trail is in great shape until the ladder. We absolutely flew through the first half-marathon. Things slowed a bit as we began to climb. Made it to Glacier Meadows in about 3 hours. From there things slowed. From Glacier Meadows camp there was intermittent snow and the snow started in earnest on the last climb before the glacier. The creek is melting out fast but just follow the bootpath and you'll have little difficulty. The entire way back down was smooth sailing.
The ladder is a little sketchy at the moment. It is missing a couple of steps and is wobbling all over the place. I really enjoyed it but it's worth noting.
I was attacked by some sort of wild chicken/turkey. It was far more terrifying than it sounds.
While bugs were not a problem on the trail at all, they were horrific in the evening as we were preparing to leave. Just whilst removing my shoes I must hove gotten bit ten times.
All in all a great day! Can't recommend this trail enough!
