Likely Sunday/Monday is going to beat the crowds better than Friday/Saturday. That said, it wasn't terribly crowded when we went. Lunch Counter has more options for campsites than you'd think!
We didn't need any ropes. We all had ice axes, crampons, and helmets. The steepest parts of the climb are from lunch counter to piker's peak, and the final climb up to the true summit. I will say, you do need to know how to walk and climb in balance.
Great video! Thanks so much for putting this together, and especially for covering some of the important safety things like not wearing crampons while glissading.
Great video! What month did you summit?
August last year! Great temperature and the snow held up relatively well.
For a two day, would you recommend fri/sat vs sun/mon for crowds?

How technical was the climb?

Thanks so much for your comment! It really means a ton. I'm big on safety, especially with climbing (it can actually mean life and death out there).
Thank you for sharing! Loved the video. I’m convinced I can do this. Can you drop that gps file??
Anyone in good shape can get up to Adams. Most people do it in July I think.
Great video! Can I get the GPS data?
