On 3/18, I used crampons the entire way from the parking lot to the summit. It was pretty icy in spots and the snow pack was solid so the crampons were a blessing. Most on the other people on the route that day wore microspikes. I started at 7am and reached the summit at about 11:15. I used snowshoes for flotation when I reached the treeline on my way back down and was glad that I brought them despite previous reports that they weren't necessary. Wonderful experience for my first winter 14er.
