Gear up to about a #1 Camalot. It will go much faster if you can handle some runouts.

 

Thompson (West Ridge) is a long ways in to carry rock gear for a pretty mediocre climb. The East Ridge is a fun scramble (4th class at top), and gets you the same awesome views [Wink] .

Can't respond to the trail conditions, but some snow is likely to linger. The climbing route is a bit dirty and indistinct. We brought maybe 6 nuts and 4 cams and 6 over the shoulder slings and climbed in our running shoes. Seemed like enough gear. The views make the long approach and mediocre climbing worthwhile.
