Hiked on 4/27.  Left trailhead around 8.  Summit ~1:30.  We just went straight up and bypassed switchbacks for a lot of the first part.  We packed crampons and axes, although we did the entire snow portion with microspikes and poles.  I could see some people wanting to use an axe, though, so I would pack things like that anyhow.
