I would say the traverse is in summer'ish conditions. There's a few snowfields that possibly could be avoided but it might get you off route. They weren't in locations that would fatal if you slipped but you may encounter issues if you did slip. I did not have traction and honestly if I did I don't know if I would have put them on. Most of the crossings were 10' or so. I was on route for most of it and it appears to be in "ok" condition. Some locations have cairns everywhere so just pick a route and go. I never did go up the dihedral in the route description but managed just fine. What a fun route!
