Depends if your comfortable without ice screws. We used 2 on the way up and none on the way down; I don't think we really needed them but they were there from the team before us, so why not.

Did a solo trip up 2 weeks ago. Didn't feel any need for protection. The couple of areas of ice could be avoided if so desired and were only 35 degrees or so. Conditions were really good, but might have deteriorated a bit with this warm snap. Car to car in 9 hours.
