Deep snow (4-5 feet) was consolidated well enough that I started with micro spikes, switched to crampons at 2400', and made to to the top without unlashing the snowshoes. Half the snow bridges are gone now, but the creek crossings weren't much of a problem.
Killer views of Carrigain, Washington and everything north from the herd path to Scaur. Stark blue sky.
Used the snowshoes going down, but enjoyed butt sliding from 3400' down to 2500'.
Some of the best conditions I've seen in April.
