Mini spikes...hmmm...last winter 3 people died in SoCal with "mini spikes" affixed to their feet while hiking on trails, the 4th he did not think ice required anything...just saying.
Winter is winter. If you don't have a winter skill set, you are at risk. A winter skill set would tell you 16" to 21" of unconsolidated snow requires snowshoes and the best route to the summit most likely be via the Chute using that skill set with Crampons...not mini spikes and ice axe...not trekking poles.
A 5 minute youtube video on self arrest does not constitute a winter skill set.
