Any ice up there recently or melted out? Any beta shots from other trips would be great.

I could see something a few weeks ago. Here's a shot from August 8th:

I was up there a month ago, and the couloir looked decent except for being melted out at the top. However, I saw evidence of huge rocks crashing down recently, and decided to do the NW ridge instead. It wasn’t much fun in ice climbing boots, but it was better than dodging boulders.

it looked like crap last week. Dirty and muddy. Sad.
