Late winter, early spring, just wait for felicitous weather conditions and go for it.
Winter is actually the best time to attempt the Gib Ledge if you don't mind climbing, traversing steep exposed snow.(ledges are snow covered)
Return via Ingraham Direct, Cadaver gap, that way you avoid potential rockfall and downclimbing steep shit.
