Sherpa Peak conditions Q?

[chucK]

Anyone accessed the W. Ridge of Sherpa Peak this year without having to traverse steep snow/ice?

 

Long Version:

 

I am planning on climbing the West Ridge of Sherpa peak tomorrow, approaching via the Cascadian Couloir.

 

I am wondering if the snow/ice patch up at the notch is now gone so I don't have to bring ice axe/crampons/whatever.

 

Thanks!

Just in case anybody else wants to know...no snow travel necessary verified. Oh, and we went up the basin just below Sherpa (on West), not the Cascadian.
