Started at 4am and made good time going up. Was able to cross all the steep snow fields before they warmed up. Quick look from the summit and down before the snow became soft. Snow was firm, very steep and there was a lot still left for July. Next time I will do this one later in the year. Great scramble and of course views!!! Ice Axe and Crampons are a must if doing this in the snow. Steep snow with short run off on cliffs.
