Well.. I did the C2C on 26 March! Started at 2:15AM, got to ranger station around 10:30AM, left for peak at 11:15 & summitted 4hrs later. 3 hrs later back at top of tram. Microspikes were useful especially on way to Round Valley because of the trail being on a slope next to the creek valley. From Wellman Divide to peak there were occasional patches of snow but I would say spikes were not really necessary. Trail from Round Valley to Wellman Divide was a little hard to follow but once on trail to peak, no problem. I started with 6 liters (8 of 750ml bottles) of water & used 4 bottles on way to tram & 2 bottles to peak and back to top of tram which left 2 bottles at end. My thanks to Ming who went along with me.
