No crampons or axe, it literally was just the last section up onto the ridge using Pyg. The snow was 4-6 inches in the drifts, we were one of the first groups up there and so a fresh step into it provided a fair amount of grip. A little hairy coming down the same way as you can see, but I wouldn't want to be in any later groups without crampons on that compacted snow/ice!
