Ascent Trip ReportArrived at Davis Path TH 0645 in a whiteout that lasted 5min. No traction needed until exposed slabs below spur trail to Crawford. As far as I could tell from tracks everyone including myself went off trail on the exposed area - keep to the right, orange tape. Light snow off and on, sun peeking thru. Hit pockets of very cold air. Ice axe assisted nicely (but not needed) on climb up to Stairs spur. No views due to fog and snow(0945). Tried trail up Resolution but turned back after taking a fall and slide at the first slabs. Points on spikes too worn for safe descent. Met 7 hikers on my way down, 3 w/o traction. Back at TH 1215
