Hi all,
Planning to visit the Big Fella coming weekend. I've climbed it many times in snow but never so late in the year.
Given it was a bumper year for snow and we're already in spring what kind of conditions can be expected?
The intent is to climb up via Staircase on Saturday, reach the summit and walk across to Cleve Cole and return the same way on Sunday.
Would snow shoes, crampons and ice axe be needed?
Cheers
