Long day, but nice weather and wind wasn't too bad. Had to bail 1 mile from the summit when I attempted this in January so it was nice to come back and finish.
Speaking of the last mile - was not a fan of making my way up the piles of rocks. I could make out the path via cairns, but the space between rocks were full of powder and it was hard to make out what was a rock / snow. Was also pretty wiped at that point so it was a bit of a slog. I saw a few other folks making their way up from Crags on my way down - not sure if anyone else summited
I brought snowshoes on my pack for the first few miles, but dropped them after I realized I wouldn't need them. Carried microspikes, but never put them on.
Started just before 6am, back 4:45pm.
