Spent the night on the summit this past weekend after ascending the Mountaineers Route. Great snow/weather conditions. Water available at Lower Boy Scout lake. Upper Boy Scout Lake and Iceberg Lake were frozen solid. We met a group who dug through the ice for hours at Upper Boy Scout, but were unable to tap liquid water. . . . . plan on boiling snow if doing an overnight trip.

We were able to park ~1 mile from the portal trail head though we would have been able to park directly at the trail head had there not been a snow plow blocking the road. Upon our return, we saw a number of 2WDs at the trail head.
We wanted to sleep on the summit, so we did the climb in 2 days to allow for acclimatization at Upper Boy Scout Lake on the first night. However, two of us still suffered from pretty bad headaches on the summit night.
