Climbed the route this morning. It is in good shape, but running with water on the first 3 pitches. You can stay dry by climbing the far right side on pitch 1 and the far left on pitch 2. It gets drier the higher you go, and the final pitch has seen some traffic, it is dry with good hooks. Keep in mind that although the wet ice offers easy swinging, placements must be treated with caution, and the chandelier surface ice must be cleared away to get good screws underneath. The road is in good shape for biking.
