Reporting back from yesterday:

Some ice/snow left on the route, but not a lot. The low angle crack section just below the pitons on the crux had a light dusting of snow, which made it quite slick especially in mountaineering boots. Snow was largely consolidated in the gullies and on the descent. In retrospect should have worn approach shoes.
