Had a decent look at the face while scoping adams glacier route this past weekend. Giving you the beta i can cause you might not get any specific to the route. Didn't appear to be anybody on it last weekend, nor sign that anybody'd been on it recently. Could be wrong about that, but didn't see any sign of a track.
In general face itself looked to be in very good condition (continuous unbroken snow, looks pretty steep), though didn't evaluate ability to cross shrunds at top of face onto summit plateau, nor ability to get onto face from lower adams glacier, since not our intended route. Impression is they were passable though you'll have to see for yourself. Route looks committing, so i'd be most concerned re upper shrunds. Definitely wouldn't want to have to back off from high on the route. Upper shrunds on the glacier were huge & not at all evident until right there. Lower adams was easy with crevasses open, obvious & narrow. Recommend climbing during night due to high freezing levels. That's what we did & snow was in excellent shape.
I believe the recommended descent is same as for the adams glacier - north ridge. Thought the descent sucked - hot, dusty, miserable pile of choss, sometimes exposed. Can't for the life of me figure why anybody hikes this route for its own sake. Bad enough as a descent. Route finding is occasionally inobvious, but found it usually best to stay near crest when in doubt. Supposedly there's an escape into snow fields from high on the ridge, which might be worth looking into, especially if it's late enough in the day for the sun to have softened the snow a bit.
Hope this info helps & good luck. Curious to hear how it goes.
