Have not been there this year, but the gully has snow in it almost every year. The snow gets pretty hard by late July.
Bring both crampons and a light ice axe. It will not make much of a difference to your total weight, but if there is any solid snow/ice cover in the approach gully, your trip could end at the base without them.
Cheers, Alois.
