Summited on Saturday (3rd). The route is 100% dry, with the only exception being there is some snow for the bypass around K2 (some by-passers who took it reported that way to be "sketch") - but the option up and down K2 (which is a better choice anyway) is all dry. Regarding weather, was essentially perfect - clear and only moderately cooler than summer; forecast through Thurs. is the same as what was experienced, with some moderate cooling and moderate chances of snow starting over the weekend. Fall colors were at peak on Saturday, but should last nicely for at least a week. Get it now if you want it!
