Melt out - Early season conditions, some pooling likely on the belay benches
Weeping Wall - Sounded hollow from the parking lot, but all connected
Polar Circus (Ribbon Pitches) - looks incomplete

Didn't get a good look at Shades of Beauty, but chatted with a pair of climbers roadside who report it to be in good condition.
