Super day for this hike. Barebooted to 2800 feet then Micros (Hillsound ultra tc). These worked fine to the summit and back but light crampons would've been quite reasonable especially above Taft Lodge.These conditions are sure to change with rain.Snowshoes stayed in the trunk today.Beautiful views with moody skies as weather was moving in.
