I’ll bet you weren’t wearing flip-flops. No. I just checked the summit photo and I wore Asolo double plastic mountaineering boots with clip-on 12-point crampons. We kept crampons on the whole time, even on the rock sections, because the snow and ice sections were so frequent that it was too much trouble and risk to take them off and put them back on. The risk was dopping them, because then you would truly be up the creek. Crampons on rock is like fingernails on a chalk board.
