Trail Conditions: Packed trail with slushy snow on the lower section with a few icy spots. Middle section is a mix of ice, snow and bare ledge, while the section from Rocky Point to the summit is snow, some of it unconsolidated, with occasional steep and icy sections.

Equipment: bare boots OK for the first mile or so; crampons for the middle, and snowshoes for the top. On the way down we used crampons for the lower part as well, and it didn't seem like a bad idea. With temperatures back below freezing, I would imagine that there it will be much icier than it was on Sunday.
