Conditions up the OBP and down FW were snow covered and I would recommend traction of some type. Snowshoes were carried but not used. Treadway was well packed and getting mushy however the monorails are well established. One section of hard ice noted climbing the summit cone to Lafeyette where I was nervous with crampons. Ridge was mixed snow, ice and rock. No issues with stream crossings on FW. A totally wonderful day in the mountains.
