didn't climb it (very windy today up there), but the gully up the Iron Gates route is snow free, as is all of Meeker Ridge, a bit wet from the recent rains and dusting of snow though. Upper 2/3 of the Loft still holding snow with a break in the middle over wet slabs. The couloirs on Meeker are thinning out, especially the upper parts, and looking like mixed routes right now.

would you recommend an ice axe and crampons for an early morning ascent of the loft route?

yes, still enough snow coverage for axe and crampons, although with the warm temps it may not get solid overnight and expect it to be soft later. In a couple weeks it should be possible to detour around the remaining snow.
