1. McHenry's Peak via Stone Man Pass
2. Little Matterhorn via Bear Lake to Odessa Lake to Southwest Face
3. Hallett Peak via standard trail
Trying to determine if I should bring ice axe, crampons, snow shoes...
Any recent information on these areas would be helpful. Thanks!

Was asking about ice axe and crampons because it's hard for me to tell from a distance if some of the steeper sections on these routes (e.g. - Stone Man Pass) might hold hard snow or ice? My mention of snow shoes was purely comfort related. First priority is to have the right gear for safety, then comfort, then weight.
