I simply don't have big enough balls to climb this mountain without rope. I have hiked to the snow bridge and went NOPE, and turned around. so props to you for doing it
Different people bring different amounts of gear. The snow bridge is rather exposed and much of the summit block is a no-fall zone. When I climbed it last September I carried an axe and spikes for the snow bridge and ditched them on the other side. We also used carried a rope and didn't use it on the way up, but rapped down the more technical parts of the summit block. Some folks were placing rock pro for the snow bridge and some of the ascent of the summit block. It's all about knowing your skill level, confidence, and careful risk assessment. The day we climbed it, two climbers were injured in separate accidents and a third was killed. Stay safe!
It is definitely possible to do it without ropes. It depends entirely on how much risk you want to accept and how much exposure you are comfortable with.

Very instructional. One of the best Granite Peak videos I have seen!
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been wanting to hike this for years.

You are probably wiser than I was! 🤣
thanks for this video, looks like a good hike and needs less equipment than i thought.
