Good luck! I really enjoyed climbing it.

Microspikes? What are they? Sounds like something very insubstantial that might be an instep crampon or similar?
I've got the snowshoes, which have substantial crampons, plus a pair of Grivel 12 point crampons.
Now I just need to buy a second hiking pole. I've got one Leki pole, but I would feel more secure using two - which as you say is what is required.
