 | Comments: |
With a snow depth of generally less than 6 inches, snowshoes were unnecessary. However, there were icy conditions underlying the light snow cover. I used Kahtoola KTS crampons for the entire hike (from trailhead to summit) and had no problems whatsoever with slippage on either the ascent or descent.
