Did this as a cold but mostly sunny spring climb. Inclement weather in bursts added snow and cold.
At 7k feet I needed crampons. At 8k feet I was better off with alpine snowhoes. Near the summit block neither crampons worked well (broke through snow) and snowshoes kept sliding the slope and loose snow.
