Glencliff was icy down low but consistent hard-packed snow above with a few drifts of powder blown in above 3500'. Carriage Road was in similar shape with some larger drifts in the usual places just below the summit. Lots of snow up high covered all obstacles.
I wore Microspike ST's car-to-car with no issues. Drifts were for short stretches and not worthy of donning snowshoes.
There were a few blowdowns, mostly step-overs. No stream crossings on this route.
Perfect day! Cold but with light wind and bright sun. I could hang on the summit with only a vest for insulation and enjoy the crystal-clear view northeast. Incoming storm had already obscured the distant view south. Didn't encounter a soul for the entire hike.
