In reply to chubbs2:
Went up it on Saturday (23rd), was super windy and very cold (-15degC on top). Only about 30-40 or so people up there on that day but on the way down there were over a hundred on the way up to Tete Rouse/Gouter huts.
Snow was in excellent condition as its stayed very cold. a decent track all the way up. Weather closing in again now though.
Good luck if you head up!
