Pretty much summer conditions. No snow up to main ridge, then just a few short knife edges of snow along the ridge, all of which are mild, avoidable, or not exposed. 98% of the ridge is dry.
Had to bail off the ridge about halfway back due to thunder--most of the south slopes are dry, but there are a few long (and steep!) patches of snow that can expedite descent if you have an ice axe (I would NOT try glissading them without). Low in the basin are lots of willows and wetness, including on the road.
