I was thinking this early in the season it may not be as busy... I could definitely be wrong on that. If the conditions are to bad I won't even attempt to use the crampons, especially since I never have before. I'm hoping for steps already being kicked into the switchbacks when we get there, but that may be wishful thinking.
Only time will tell, either way I will be higher on the mountain than ever before and there will be a smile on my face... anything else is a bonus!!
