Temperatures near freezing from the parking lot on up. Very little precipitation and what fell was dry, powdery snow. The popularity of this trail has developed a nice solid base of compact hard snow.
Great crampon conditions starting at ~2000' all the way to the benches below the haystack. Several practice sessions on the way up, including the one about proper fit when putting them on. Total time was ~6.5 hours with 3.5 up and 2.5 down.
