Climbed Waterhole yesterday evening. Having been on the climb twice previously, the climb has already changed in character. Approach is completely dry, no snow, right to the base via the existing established trail. Irish Mist has ice at the bottom and very top but an extensive amount of rock climbing in the middle (beyond the usual bolted small wall). Waterhole is sublimating quickly at the first 7m. You might get stubbies in. The reminder of the climb is picked out and protectable with 13cm. Top out is a mixed of frozen dirt and thin ice. The climb is dry, no water running, no moisture. Around -2 while I was there. Windy, maybe 20+km/hr. This was a solo trip so I can’t attest to the availability & the gear quality.
