No meaningful change from previous reports (apart from a lack of snow).
Road is bushy and rough in places, but otherwise straightforward driving in an FJ Cruiser.
We managed to drive my stock(ish) Tacoma (It's a bush truck I don't mind denting or scratching though), up to 1900m where we got stopped by snow. Above 1500m the road gets steeper and more rocky, but is passable to a good driver in something high that they don't really care about. Water has been running down the road in places, leaving large round rock and boulders on the road. Makes for a slow drive. I imagine I could have made it to the lookout without snow. ATV's can still drive higher than that though.
