Ruapehu Crater Lake overnighter

Hi guys, I'm after some advice. The plan is to go up Ruapehu on Tuesday, overnight and down the next day. But it seems we got a fair amount of snow. So my question is would it make any sense to take micro-spikes (or even crampons), and snow shoes? I can see snow shoes helping when walking on the top, so probably will take those for that occassion, but given the current conditions: fresh unpacked snow, steep ascend, would micro-spikes help? Would snow shoes? I don't have much experiencing ascending in fresh snow, was just going to take the boots, but it seems people here have done this in first snow of of the year, so what do you reckon?
