Anyone been out there recently? Wondering if I will need crampons/axe for the approach to the North Arete.

Thanks!

Nope. Tennis shoes were fine on the approach a few days ago. Very minimal snow.

Things might get slippery/icy if doing the descent at night, but still not too much snow.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
