Perfect morning for a climb, left TH slightly before 0630, reached the summit at 1000, despite a fair bit of wind it was an excellent day. Quite a bit of snow above 13,000 and some spots even below as low as 12,000 that required moving across a bit of deeper snow. But the snow was hard on the way up, postholed less than 5 times the entire climb. However on the way down snow got soft around 1000 and postholing galore. I would absolutely leave earlier or move faster than we did. For added fun bring an axe along for a quick descent from the top.
