Easy traverse between Sunshine and Redcloud. Snowshoes were useful coming off of Sunshine to the saddle then we stashed them. The multiple trails from there are obvious since they're snowy and everything else is dry. I booted up Redcloud trying to stay on the rocks which worked well enough. On the descent instead of re-climbing Sunshine we crossed Sunshine's northeast face. There's a couple of avy slopes there but it proved stable. For the traverse only, flotation is marginally useful, traction and an axe are not needed.
