Out and back via Raymond Trail to S Pack and Wapack Trail to N Pack.
The lower part of the mountain is almost all ice free except on north facing slopes. We barebooted most of the Raymond. The boulders and ledges are tricky without traction, but still doable if you don't mind going off-trail. Microspikes were the tools of choice, as almost everyone we met was wearing them. The downhill parts of the Wapack would have been pretty nasty otherwise.
