I am considering soloing the Mountaineer's Route this weekend 10/25. Does anyone have any recent beta on the snow and ice conditions on the north face at the top of the route? I'd appreciate any information. Thanks!

We did MR last Saturday, there was ice on few areas at 1st chute after the notch but they're easily avoidable. However there was more ice on north face traverse, I think it will be risky if you don't have crampons. The 1st chute will be easier to climb.
