What kind crampons and shoes would you use in this situation? Would ice axes be an overkill?

No crampons or ice axe needed here, it is just wet snow and gravel. Unless there are some places with shade where it is icy.

Realistically, why are you asking this question. Nobody on this board spends any kind of time in an area like that.

>>2843199
I do. Who has the balin miller fall?

>>2843196 (OP)
Approach shoes, nothing else. Looks like you can bypass all the snow fields here.

Seems like there's quite a bit of wet snow around the summit. Also mountaineers avoid wet snow, which is why they climb large mountains like Everest at night and the morning. But of course it's hard to compare a mountain covered with glaciers to a mountain covered with some snow.

Only women get crampons

>>2843214
Crampons aren't the same as tampons

You can modify the selector switch on crampons to turn them full auto.

>>2843215
duh idiot they get crampons after they use a tampon

Either just scrambling around, or a shoe with a stiffer sole that you can kick steps with or wear microspikes if its icy would be enough

>carrying trekking poles
Why?

>>2843221
Only useful on the descent

You mean bitch sticks?

If it would improve your confidence, microspikes. Or you could grow a pair and just transit. Make sure you turn on your tertiary Garmin Inreach and ready the bear sparay because you never can be sure a Yeti isn't waiting to pounce.

Then you aren't using them right. They literally let you use yours arms to assist your legs in pushing you up hill. More power.
