Difficulty of Three Fingers Lookout between July 20-30?

Hi there! I am planning on doing the 3 Fingers Lookout summit towards the end of this month, anywhere from July 20th to the 30th depending on weather and what not. Generally speaking, what are conditions like in the higher altitudes? I am planning on bringing micro-spikes + an Ice Axe, but wanted to get a feel for what people think is necessary for a summit this time of year.

Any and all feedback would be appreciated, super excited regardless!

Saw a Coyote while backpacking in Colorado

My brother and I were about 30 miles onto the trail, and saw this lone coyote walking the plains. It was so cool to watch him from afar. Truly a beautiful animal. We saw a couple others while we were out and they had such thick white coats.

Me, my brother, and 6 friends backpacked the tallest mountain in New York

This was a 4 day trip in the Adirondack mountains. We honestly had terrible weather but it made the trip even more memorable. We ended up doing around 35 miles. One of, if not the most beautiful spot I’ve been east of the Mississippi!

35 Miles in The Rocky Mountains with my Brother

Just completed a ~35 mile backpacking trip with my brother in the Rocky Mountains. (Flat Tops Wilderness) was truly an insane experience, saw a lot of wildlife and beautiful sites. The road getting there was roughly 36 miles long of pretty questionable off-roading roads, and weather was relatively cold, but I’ve never felt more alone/remote in the lower 48. Cant get enough of this stuff!
