  1. If you go midweek to avoid the crowds, the SE Buttress on Cathedral Peak is the first suggestion that comes to mind. Also ones that immediately come to mind: Conness West Ridge (3 pitches up to about 5.6, then loads and loads of 4th class), Conness North Ridge (a rappel down a 5.6 pitch, then great 4th class up to the summit), Tenaya Peak NW Buttress (5.5). I mentioned just routes around Tuolumne, both because I prefer climbs to summits, and also because the valley will be awfully hot in July.
  2. I just climbed Jefferson on Thursday with Miguel Forjan, who may be the guy you're referring to (I think he posted on here looking for partners for some peaks). We roped up for the traverse; the snow was icy in a few patches (especially towards the north side of the pinnacle), and we both used (and were glad we brought) a second tool besides our ice axes. The summit pinnacle itself was snow-free (and is a pretty easy scramble IMO). Another party had been up there not long before us (we saw glissade tracks/boot prints on the SW Ridge/Slopes, and they'd signed in the register a day or two before us), but we guessed they'd climbed the 5.6 side of the pinnacle, because we didn't see any sign of recent travel in the traverse.
