The approach was mostly snow except for the very beginning of the JMT. It made route finding difficult for us since we had never been there before and the ground was covered. We eventually got to the base chopping and kicking steps the last little bit. We came a little too far to the climbers right, we headed straight for it too soon. The wall was dripping wet and eventually a slough for snow/hail. Thunder and lightning came in on the hike so we bivvied at the base of SuperTopo Route A and waited for better weather. The storm cleared momentarily enough for us to try and make a run up the Mountaineer's Route, but thunder and lightning came back and we decided against climbing to the top of the almost 11,000 foot granite lightning rod. There was a lot of snow on the descent/M. Route and an ice axe is mandatory. Crampons will make things easier and safer. The snow was mostly consolidated and getting icy and hard up at the top of the saddle/ridge.
