4 1/2 - 5 1/2 hours up,if you're in decent shape. Freezing levels are going from 5K this week to 10K on Sat. Leave early, like 4am or before. Avi danger will probably be considerable given the warming weather. Crampons may be useful/needed, don't know about snowshoes; but I'd bring both.

Was up there the weekend before last. Bring snowshoes or you'll be postholing for a long time. Snow was still to the parking lot but may have some small breaks here and there now. Lots of snow above the trees. Some of the snow banks along the gully sides were peeling away from the rock so you may want to pay attention if your route takes you through one of those spots.
