mostly snow free except for the gullies. We had to make around 5 short snow crossings, most of which were not too bad. The exception to this was by the "small notch" on the ridge. You have to drop about 50' and the gully is filled with softer snow. We cross it by hanging on to the rock and taking as few steps in the snow as possible. Felt more like class 4 than class 3 due to trying to avoid the snow.
We had to head down fast due to a storm at the summit. The standard route still has a lot of snow in the gullies until the saddle, most of which gets pretty soft. Made for some tricky down climbing.
Standard route below the saddle is mostly snow free, but is a loose dirty mess. Not a fun decent.
Overall either route is doable, but neither is "easy". know what you're doing and watch the weather, the ridge is not a good place to be if it gets bad.
