Hello all: I have a party of 4, we will begin hiking early this Friday (May 27) to hike up and camp at Outpost or Trail camp Friday night, then take the switchbacks to the summit on Saturday, and then one more night camping on Saturday night before heading to the bottom on Sunday Will we be able to make this route with micro spikes and ice axe? This is our first hiking/camping adventure in the snow, although we are experienced day hikers. That being said, it will be the first time using ice axe and micro spikes. Are cramp ons more necessary, or should we be okay with this set up?
