Climbed Eisenhower tower today. There are still snow patches on the goat ledge from the Castle hut to Brewers and to the Tower. This could be avoided if you didn't have an axe but would involve a bit more off trail scree bashing up and down. The Tower itself still has a bunch of snow in the middle, but dry most everywhere else. If you take the rappels down to avoid the Dragon Back descent, expect more snow traversing back to the tail of the dragon.
