The route is in good condition. There are several snowfields that still must be crossed, but no gear was necessary. That being said, don't miss the 'easiest' route across them. There is a final snow field crossing before you gain the last ~400 feet of gain below the ridge. There are many lines, either from trailblazers or the way the route has perhaps changed as the snow has melted. The way we took was the shortest line and it currently has good steps kicked in. I'd call the moves from rock to snowfield and snowfield to rock perhaps dicey depending on your comfort level and leg length.

If you're not familiar with the route, just take your time.
