It is true that it no longer often forms as a true alpine ice climb and much of the fixed pro is out of reach because much of the permanent snow/ice is gone. I was in the Enclosure Ice Couloir in late July and it was an awsome neve climb. The Black Ice looked similar, if not better. I have no idea how the late season went, i.e. if either route turned into good alpine ice, but if you're willing to say fuck the fixed pro, conditions will still turn it into a good climb.
