Successful MWMT summit 4.24.23. West side of mountain very sketchy, about 8 areas where snow slopes are major concern and traversing without crampons, ice axe, and preferably roped up (as we were) would be highly unadvisable. Last 500 vertical feet is a ice/snow dome. Very slow slow going as well, we descended the chute in the shade (highly unadvisable) due to post holing and general slow going. Snow conditions change EXTREMELY rapidly, and timing becomes even more critical. Soft snow that can be glissaded/plunged stepped can become covered with a sheet of ice in just a few minutes. Ask me how I know. BTW, there is a Chute 2.0 between Outpost and trail camp. It was a slog with no trail to follow.
