Hello, what does that mean you can hike up and down to trail crest without the switchbacks-on the main trail? We are planning to attempt to Summit on June 30th, staying first night at Trail Camp, then heading up from there the next morning, will the trail to use to get to Trail Crest be easy to follow? We have crampons and axes, and are experienced hikers, but not much experience in snow and ice conditions. Any advice is appreciated.
