Great conditions overall. 4 people (2 for the 1st time) climbed 6 hours to upper boyscout lake. A little route finding required from lower to upper boyscout. It was hot, so glad we got an alpine start. Camped at iceberg lake which took another 3 hours (a little route finding required, but directionally it was more clear where to go). Chilly in the morning; full moon lights up the sky. Summit day the next morning (early start). Gully/Chute had hard snow in the morning so used rocks for a bit. Rested at the notch; took the work around route to meet up with the JMT. Used 1 hiking pole on the downside of the mountain while using pre-made steps in the snow. Felt stable without crampons (small amount of ice but was able to step around it), but it would have been helpful if you want to lug extra weight. Clear day at the top (9:15 am) and it was warm enough to not need to re-layer. On the way down the route to the notch still had fairly hard packed snow. For the chute, we were able to glissade down parts of it. Ledges took a lot of focus to figure out the correct path. Hiking poles helpful on the way down. Not a lot of people on the trails overall. Mosquitoes were light but present up through upper boy scout lake. Heat / temperature / finding shade were some of the challenges.
