Climbed the route with one guest yesterday (Saturday).  Busy place with four other parties.  Similar conditions to Barry's report with a fair amount of ice, snow and rock coming down the climber's left side of the upper route once the sun found it.  Temperatures in the sun felt more
like April than February.  Snow balling under the crampons was an issue on the descent.  I have never seen the route in easier shape.  Felt Grade 4. 
 
Thanks again to the kind folks that let us play through.
 
Cheers
