In from the Garden, microspikes all the way to Shorey's (not so) shortcut, snowshoes until the ladder on Basin, switched to crampons from that point to summit. The ladder was solid ice, and a bit sketchy as were some of the steeper sections above that point. All in all it was a perfect day. Trails are plenty stomped out, so the going is pretty quick. Going in after sun up, and coming out before sunset is always a treat on a 17-mile day.
