The steep part of the climb below the amphitheater is well covered in snow that softens quite a bit in the afternoon. I found crampons and an axe necessary here. The amphitheater, which is the middle section, is mostly dry with lots of scree. The upper section towards the 4WD has some grassy sections and is half exposed, half covered. The peak itself is covered in snow. In the morning not too much postholing, although in the afternoon snow shoes could be helpful in the upper section. And climbing up on the snow is easier than on the scree.
