The route is in early season conditions, thin in a number of places with running water beside the climbing line or just under the thin ice shell.
Judging from a distance it appears the bowl above is currently below threshold for a full path avalanche.
The June floods have changed the terrain just before the start of the climb and also the walk (under the snow plug) to the upper pitches. It seemed to involve climbing around bigger rocks.
Of importance...the anchors on this route are in need of replacement.
The anchor at the top of the upper grade 3 pitch has lost the nut that holds the washer and chain in place hence only a one bolt anchor currently.
Many of the anchor bolts look like this one...or worse.
