Alcohol stoves were fairly dominant last summer, although I found a 
surprising number of cannister stove users.  Perhaps two people used Esbit 
tablets and I saw one or two Whisperlite-esque stoves as well.  I'd 
probably estimate maybe 70% of the thruhikers were using alcohol stoves, 
but this is really just a guess.

You might want your ice axe in the San Jacinto range if there are a 
bunch of late season storms, but even then it might not be necessary. 
Keep an eye on this list or the weather service for weather updates 
on snow conditions there.
