Great info here. I am trying to get a climbers permit and attempt this summit next monday (July 18th). I am johnny come lately, so this info is really helping me decide on what gear to bring/rent. Sounds like, rent an axe and possibliy skip the crampons, if I am heading up at 10am or so. I am a good hiker, but no real snow/ice experience. I will bring my treking poles and pace myself. Thanks for the support shown in this forum. Chris
