Jeff - pretty clear of snow from Iceberg to Whitney-Russell Col. There's snow around Iceberg Lake and some leading up to the col, but it's minimal. You'll be on snow, but you don't need crampons or an ice axe, especially if it's warm and you're doing the approach around 9 AM.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
