Hiked in to camp Friday afternoon, my Corolla made it all the way up the trailhead. 99% summer conditions. We took K2's north ridge (ridge direct) to K2 then stayed high from K2 to summit. No snow at all on ridge and really solid class 3 and 4. Low winds and perfect day, didn't even wear windbreaker for most of the day. We descended standard route and it was a lot more loose than the ridge. Some snow fields left between summit and saddle, pretty not solid snow and spikes don't help from sliding and sloshing but short fields. Some of the creek crossings on the ditch trail are impassible without getting wet. Water shows recommended. Lots of mosquitoes.
