[pct-l] Epic snowyear: K10 Crampons --> boots mandatory ?

[Stefan Popa]

Hi Folks,
because of the epic snow year we are facing i bought a pair of Kahtoola 
K10 crampons
instead of the microspikes.
Next question is: do i need boots for the crampons or can i use them 
with trailrunners ?
Does anyone use them successful with trailrunners?
Would you bring crampons / iceaxe to Mt. San Jacinto this year (mid may) ?
Happy Hiking and god bless you all
