I climbed this in September, there is an easy scramble up on (I believe) the southeast side, if you just want to get to the top. At that time of year, coming from the lake we went up about 300 feet of hard ice which was a little spicy(we could have instead opted for going up rock), but after that it was pretty much scrambling, ascend a ramp to a couple little chimney-type things. No rope required. On the descent we just walked off toward Little Annapurna.
