With a consolidated snowpack, typically no. However, with the current snowpack, be prepared for mush conditions and poor avalanche stability on steeper slopes:

Quite a nice write up.

Went up CD. Mush but not that bad. I stayed at the Hogsback due to sun effect and muscle cramping/spasm issues, but my 4 companions all scored their first Baker summits! With carries we were able to skin up the summer trail on Saturday. Melting out fast down there on Sunday. Must have been 300 climbers up there. Heard about the slednecks on the Squak. What a gongshow!
