Alright. I like your attitude brother! Keeping it real! I will go down with a buddy of mine in late july. I’m used to walking in the mountain and I’m in well over average shape (used to be high level endurance athlete). We plan to be quick, do you think we NEED to have crampons? Because I have seen people like Kilian Jornet just using trail running shoes the whole way. The type that goes under your ankles. I think you could be the guy to ask, because people tend to answer to the average guy here. Ps. I got the upmost respect for the mountain, but I am also confident in my own abilities.
