The trail was muddy, and there is some snow from the ropes. There were some snow in the beginning of the trail, but it was just a little bit that all melted away when we were descending. Micro-spikes were not necessary but having them helps specially when you descend. The trail became muddy on the way back.
As you may know the trail is steep and there are 3 spots that you need to use the ropes. This part of the trail is unmaintained. When we got to the peak it was super foggy and we could barely see the view but there is a lookout just before you get to the end of the maintained trail and it was clear. That view was spectacular!
