Descend Burgundy Col without an axe?

Washington Pass area. Looking to climb Clean Break on Juno Tower in about a week. Does anyone know if we can bypass the snow on the east side of Burgundy Col? And hence, not bring an ice axe?

This photo is from Saturday July 28th. The col is the lowest point visible on the right, sorry the tree probably blocks a better view, but maybe this helps.

 I approached Clean Break by going up Silver Star Creek. My partner had an axe and I didn't. Going that way, there is no snow - except the steep/slick snowpatch below the route. She definitely used her axe there and I went behind her using a rock to chop steps. She let me use the axe to climb down into the moat. So we only used it for a few minutes, but it was nice to have. 

Thanks Cat!

Maybe have a back up plan if you weren't already aware - whole Washington Pass area is closed at the moment due to a wildfire.

You can scramble up the gulley to the left of the base instead of going up the snow.

Thanks for the further beta. Watching the fires.

The Cutthroat fire is contained and the pass back open.  That said there is another fire nearby to keep an eye on (gilbert fire).
