Thunderbolt, North Couloir conditions

Anyone done this recently? I may be doing the Tbolt-Sill traverse this weekend, but suspect that, given the last few dry years we've had, this may be really icy or rocky. If so, I'd rather leave the ice gear behind and opt for a different way up Tbolt, or even start the traverse from Sill like some have recommended. Thanks in advance for your responses.

? Folks up there last 2 weeks saw a bit of new snow, but it otherwise looked dry.

In dry conditions I found Underhill Couloir to be an acceptable ascent. No gear needed.
