AntonC’s report on conditions is super thorough, not much to add to what they shared (also, if you see this, thanks for the thorough conditions report!)
We climbed Gunn, Gunnyshy, and Wing.
I added a photo of the northern ledge below the summit of Gunn that AntonC mentioned. Some of our worst post holing was here, where we’d punch through between the snow and the rock up to our knees.
Trail from Gunn to Gunnshy is straightforward and is basically all snow, but the last scramble to the summit of Gunnshy is snow free. Some annoying postholing near the summit.
Getting to wing is also pretty straightforward, basically stay on the south side of the ridge going up. Nearly all snow can be avoided once you start to ascend, there were just a few trivial patches. There is a big steep patch right below the summit block, but you can avoid it by climbing some loose lichen-y rock to climbers right of the snow patch.
