Mountaineer route is a bit challenging, you might need some rock climbing skills and be ready for some scrambling. You might need crampon too in case there is snow and ice. Where did you guys camp?

We attempted the easy route too in late July. We tried to get permit around full moon day so we can hike under the moonlight. We got the overnight permit so we started around noon. But it took us almost 6 hrs just to get to the trail camp since we backpacked in. We also got a little hailing and storm in the afternoon. We started hiking up the 99 switchbacks around 3am. But my hu*****and called it quit as lightening and thumder started rolling in. We were almost half way up the switchbacks. Most of the people continued and I think it would have been fine. So regretful. I don't think it's easy to get overnight permit. If I would do it again I probably would try to pack light and not camp so high up. But I'm defitely not strong enough to finish one way in under 10 hours :)

Congratulations!
