Way less snow than expected for this time of the year.
On and off snow coverage on the trail. Microspikes were put on by some of us before we dropped for Kautz Creek crossing which required to be careful while mitigating postholing but overall was straight forward with plenty of rock hoping options to keep our feet dry. Pyramid Creek crossing was easy as well with a solid foot log and hand rail in place. Most of us put the snowshoes on after this crossing but we had to remove them around 4000ft on the south orienting slopes due to sudden lack of snow. I think we put them back on about 1 mile before Devil's Dream camp and kept them on all way to the summit and until we got back to the bare ground slopes around 4000 ft.
Party of 7
10:00 hour C2C Day (slightly over 5 hours up, 20 minutes on the summit, 4 hours down).
