Went up the Mosquito drainage first so Treasure, Mosquito, Kuss. A little snow, but super shallow and mostly avoidable. I would recommend gaiters, but spikes aren't necessary. I was wishing I packed the spikes for a few short sections up the steep N face of Mosquito, but it wasn't a deal breaker. This route will definitely be different after the next storm. Big thanks to the jeep that went up Mosquito Pass road. It made the shady north side under the shadow of London Mountain a breeze. My knees say thanks too.
