Same as last report. Few downed trees on the trail (which CFI did a great job on), once into the boulder field there's 1-2 hard packed snow sections which require no extra gear. Easy climb to the summit once past the “yellow dirtâ€. Class 5 direct to the right of the big V, tried to stay true to ridge most of the time, and descended standard. I could see a helmet being useful on the crux during summer weekends. Very good route for someone's first class 3, not difficult at all. I parked below the 4wd TH (0.6mi) a friends explorer made it up, but minor damage. I saw a Mazda heading up so drive at your own discretion I suppose. Not worth the 15min walk for me
