Hit the trail at 7:30 which was later than anticipated. First and second creek crossings were easy and the third was a little bit more challenging. Wasn't too difficult though so don't get scared, I just took my socks and shoes off and eventually made my way across. Snow starts at headlee pass where ice axes and crampons are recommended (although I saw a couple groups of people not wearing crampons and were completely fine). After Headlee pass, there is a short traverse which is snow free. Snow starts again after the traverse and its snow the rest of the way to the top. I trudged my way up to the summit which was covered in clouds. I managed to snap a photo when there was a small clearing. But of course when I started heading down, the summit was clearing out. Always happens to me. Overall it was a great climb and took me about 7 hours to complete. The trail condition is pretty good and there are lots of snow tracks to follow so getting lost is pretty difficult.
I also made a video but can't link it to the trip report so I'll just paste it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSySUyAhAsQ
