I did that pass in Sept 2019 and it was still choked with snow on the West side. It was a little tricky getting around/up it without spikes, but I'd do it again. I found the eastern side pretty mellow. No people, easy travel. Just stay as high as possible avoiding the huge talus and you don't have to drop down super far to contour around to lake W10410T

Looking up the pass from the West side:
