Climbing on June 27th. I know the weather can drastically change in 2 weeks and I cannot have an accurate answer but I just wanted to see if anyone had a clue if I would need an ice axe going up? Are the cables open or will I be going up the chute?

(I should mention that I do know how to use the axe and have experience with them but do I really need to hall it onto the plane with me)

How has the snow been in higher elevations?

Thanks guys.
