Vestal peak in early June?
I'm going to Vestal basin in the Weminuche wilderness in the beginning of June and thinking of climbing Vestal peak. Would there be snow on the ground in the basin or on the peak during that time of year? Should I bring crampons just incase?

There will be tons of snow probably from about 10K on up.

What he said. Even in dry years there is always snow at that time of year. Snowpack in most of that area is average to a bit below average, but that can still change. Even if it doesn't change, there will be significant snow for sure.
I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.
