Its possible to climb Shasta wearing Tevas in August. But if you're hanging from the pick end of an ice axe on a 50 deg icy slope, you want crampon front points you can bet your life on for your next step. It's all about the conditions, which you can't know until its too late. Be prepared for the worst you can reasonably expect, with options for good luck.
Harvey, awesome pix, got more?
