Will the east face climbs on Dent d' Orlu be clear of snow by early June? What about approach and descent?

In reply to clp123:
There may be the odd patch of snow at the base of the face but assuming the sun is out the face will be dry. The summit is very small and rocky so there is very little run off. I was up there last August and the road through the forest up to the parking at the roundabout was quite rough. It may be worth planning for not being able to drive all the way up to the parking. ( If you have a hire car I am sure you will make it !!!) i.e. you may need to walk for an extra hour or so ?
All the routes are good I have done Fleur de Rhodo 6a and Zinkeria 6a+.
The approach from the parking is very obvious and takes about an hour. To descend you simply walk off back to the base of the routes via the only path that goes to and from the summit so carry your shoes with you on the route.
