Left Longmire at about 9:00 am, and started up the many switchbacks. Encountered Avalance lilies blooming at about 4,000'. Snow in a solid patch at about 4,700, for about a half-mile, had to do some trail finding. Lots of tracks going hither & yon, but being thoughful and persistant will find you above the snow. Trail clear the rest of the way to the saddle. Got to the saddle between Eagle & Chuytla at about 12:00. No problem scrambling up Eagle, but there is still plenty of snow on Chuytla. Trekking poles did fine going over the snow.
