Spikes went on around the GBT and Snapper junction and then came off for a bit. The Snapper Trail had patches of ice, but nothing too serious with sharp spikes. The Carriage road was mostly soft spring snow and bare trail. South Peak Spur was hard packed snow and ice. Glad we made the loop up Snapper-Carriage and down to GBT because the large ice flows were softening up by the times we came down, otherwise I would have wanted my crampons that I didn't bring. Saw a few others and Hiker Ed. Fun day with E.S. D.S. and B.F. and Nala
Lahout's Patagonia replaced my hillsounds that broke on North Twin - Yayyy :)
