The boot ladders most certainly will not be as clear cut and well set this weekend as last. Still, cramps will likely not be required though some folks prefer them. As per the previous thread, if you decide on cramps, and ice ax is also required and you should practice with them before going into terrain that a fall could hurt you more with cramps than without them if you fail to arrest correctly. My opinion is climb a less steep gully in ski boots only and you'll be fine.
