Approach is dry until just above 8300' up Little Slide Canyon. Then it's casual on/off snow all the way up to the base of the Hulk, depending on how direct a line you want. The only unavoidable snow we hit was around 9500', just west of the short cliff where people commonly camp near the base.
The walk-off descent was dry from the notch to the main gully start (check MP decent beta). There was snow for maybe a hundred meters midway down the gully - could be sketch early in the day if frozen, but no problems later in day. Pretty warm temps up there - the snow is melting fast.

Just hiked out yesterday. There is still a lot of snow on the approach. We had a mountaineers ax and used it like a cane for walking up and as a brake for glissading.
