	Comments:	Trail was really well packed all the way. I used snowshoes but crampons may have been a better choice. The steep section before the ridge had enough loose snow that I'm not sure if microspikes would have worked well. Snowshoes were very clumsy coming down this section. The one hiker I passed with crampons was doing great coming down.
