Hi!
My best friend and I are going to try Langley from Horseshoe Meadows on June 18th through the 21st (we're thinking of taking our time, hanging out, and coming out via Cottonwood Pass and chicken spring lake) using the Cottonwood Lakes Basin and we are wondering if anyone has been in that area lately and would know the conditions on New or Old Army Pass. Do the snow conditions call for crampons/ice axe or micros, or can we get by without them? Also, we are wondering if the trail up to the summit after the passes require snow gear, but are kinda thinking it won't because it's so exposed in this low snowfall year.
I checked out the conditions on the sequoia national park website, but it'd be great to get some more opinions. Better to be safe than sorry.
Thank you!
Matt
