We are also going to walk up to the camp on Friday and try and summit on Saturday! Company is always good!
@others - A few of my friends tried the summit this past weekend as a day hike and could only get half way up the chute and had to return back due to lack of time and weather getting worse. What I heard from them was that, crampons aren't required immediately and will probably be required from Mirror lake or so. They didn't see anyone summit when they did and cautioned about possible lack of steps from trail crest to summit. Based on the weather forecast, the weekend should be relatively snow free. They also mentioned that, they got lost a couple of time in the trail and suggested to study the map carefully and mark a few locations. The trail from the portal up to the camp was clearly visible.
