High Sierra Topix

Hello:

I'm currently planning a 2 night backpacking trip starting at Onion Valley and heading up and over Kearsarge Pass to make a camp at some of the lakes about 1,000 feet below the pass.

Has anyone been up that route?

What are the snow conditions like?

Are crampons necessary?

If I've never done this trip before....is it just WAY too early in the season for this to be a good idea???

Thank you!

Jessica

Kearsarge Pass is snow free.
