Conditions: Bare dry ground mostly all the way to the ridge, with some minor avoidable ice near the top of the ledge steeps. From the view to the summit, along the Rollins, a mixture of bare rock, ribbon of ice, and frozen rail. I bare booted to the view and put my hillsounds on for the trek over to the summit. Could be bare booted, but there's less error with the spikes. A few step-overs, down low, along the way. Looks like a trail re-route has taken place in the flats down low. Beautiful day, a little on the hot side, with welcome breezes.
