Comments
Comments: It would not be overkill to wear crampons. The trail is a sheet of ice for at least the first half after which it turns to snow. I started off in microspikes but was slipping a bit on the way up so I changed to Kathoolas which have a more aggressive bite and they worked perfectly.
