| Comments: |
Beautiful spring day! Conditions on the way up were good. We wore microspikes the entire day but there were spots where crampons would have been nice especially on the way down as the temps were warming and the snow was soft and slippery. Lots of postholes on the trail. The trail was easy to follow. Very busy at the summit. |
