I'm no expert, but the KTS trail crampons seem to fit a sweet spot for those who don't need aggressive "real" crampons but want something more than microspikes. You can borrow whatever gear I have you think might work for you.
Probably won't need it (or want to carry the weight) but I also have a brand new Petzl Summit 2 Ice Axe if you want to borrow that also.
I'm off the 15 and El Norte Pkwy if you are in the area and want to swing by to check things out... or stop by on your way up to Whitney.
I'll PM you my contact info... if you don't get an email notification, look in the upper right of the forum window next to your user name and there will be a "mail" icon.
