1. Climbing after mid August is new snow risky
2. Plan to be headed down by noon. Wind usually comes up in the early afternoon.
3. Check you back path on the way up. Many people get into trouble by not going east far enough on the decent before dropping to the plateau.
4. In the summer tennis shoes for 3 miles, then boots.
13 summits over 44 years. Have a good one.
