Hey All, I'm planning to summit Mt. Langley as a 3-day backpacking trip June 16th-18th via New Army Pass. Anyone aware of the current snow conditions? Wondering if i'll need crampons, ice ace, etc... any advice is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-Paul

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Funny you should ask. I was just up there yesterday.
Please see where I added to this report in the 14ers section.

Regarding the snow on New Army Pass, it is almost completely clear.
There was just a little snow at the very top of the pass. I just bypassed most of this snow by climbing about 10 feet of a drift by kicking steps. No ice ax or crampons were needed. It will probably be clear when you get there.
Be sure to post a report!
Thanks,
-Russ
