Snowfields to cross – could be difficult

Top 2/3 still with snow, still using winter route to lookout tower at summit. Spikes or crampons and poles necessary – ice axe recommended for better glissading. Challenging but rewarding, with amazing views of multiple mountains at the top above cloudline. Some post-holing and tree well issues to watch for. A few Boulder field scrambles, including the last push ridgeline to the lookout tower.
