I climbed Democrat today. Although I took and used crampons most of the other people did not. For me it is safer, easier and faster to use crampons. Your call.

Snowshoes were not necessary because I went early. I was on top at 8:30 and back at the car at 10:30 and the snow was pretty supportable. If you go up there you will see lots of horrendous post holes. Most people are going up too late.

Planning to hike DeCaLiBro early morning this Saturday. Just wondering if we'll be hiking in snow the whole way and how deep? I saw you wrote 10-20% snow on Cameron, Lincoln, and Bross---was Democrat about the same?

It seems as though there was more snow on democrat, especially going up the ridge and on the summit.
