C2C on Thurs, Dec 2

[unclear]

My friend and I are planning to try C2C this Thurs (Dec 2) with crampons. If anybody has any concrete info on why this might not be possible or be a bad idea, I'd appreciate hearing it .

Actually, it's been cold enough that there probably isn't much ice (no freeze-thaw cycle), so you're probably catching it at a good time.

Hi Unclear, (interesting name?)
I went up Sat, a friend on Sun.
Sat was good snow, mostly full coverage from 7,500 ft. on, 9around the traverse which is shaded 7 N facing). Hit a few small ice patches lower down.
My bud told me more snow snow fell Sat night, with 6-10" drifts in the trees in a few places from the wind.
He knows the trail well, so hopefully his footprints will be visible, otherwise, you should know your way to Coffman's Crag (big-ass rock @ 8k) & beyond.
Consolidation should be good with the 2 layers, as Zip mentioned, no melting up higher, there was a bit of ice lower, which you may want micro's on.
Have a good hike & be safe, bring as much eqpmt as you can in case.
