About 8" of sticky snow on a freshly broken out trail, nicely protecting us from the slippery ice bulges discussed in prior trip reports.
Special equipment needed: microspikes. Today crampons and snowshoes weren't necessary though both enjoyed the ride in my pack.
What a difference a few days of snow makes! Great hike. Not much wind. Warmer temps. Spikes balled up a few times.
