Thanks for posting the photo Castlereagh.
Figured I'd post an update in case anyone else is interested. We had an incredible 5 day trip to the Cirque June 30 - July 4. Very dry up there. Fair amount of mosquitos but not a problem if you're willing to hang out in your tent when not climbing.
Did Pingora's South Buttress as well as the East Face, Left Side Cracks. Climbed Wolfs Head via the East Ridge and scrambled up Overhanging Tower from the Wolfs Head/Overhanging Tower Col. No ice axe or crampons needed really but we did have to deal with 2 20 foot sections of moderate snow. One at the base of Pingora's East Face and one just below the Wolfs Head/Tiger Tower saddle. If you're timid on snow bring an axe.
