Came over from Shavano (see that conditions report). Left Shavano at 8am. Summitted just before 9am. Left just after 9am. Got back to Shavano at 10. There is a large snow field along the ridge just below the summit (its clearly seen from Shavano and the saddle). There is a completely snow-free route on either the left or right side. Going right (above it) (what I did) is a little steeper, but a little shorter. Pick your poison and choose either side of the snow field. Snow equipment is absolutely not necessary.
