Hello Hikin Jim, thanks for asking, it was GREAT. We did not need snow shoes or crampons, although we could of used crampons towards the top of the mountain. We started kinda late, we were in no rush but it did take us 8 hours to reach the top and get back to the car.
I would think from this point on you would need crampons for sure.
Didn't get any pics unfortanately.
