Comments
Comments: The trail was dry up until somewhere around 2,600'. After that the trail was wet, some mud (avoidable). Monorail started around 4,100' and deeper snow around 4,200-4,400. We bare booted until 4,200.
One other hiker came down from the summit and said he needed crampons to descend. They would NOT be overkill for maybe the last 1/4 mile to the spine before the summit.
