How much water for Borah

Howdy,

I'm looking at climbing Borah mid-late August this year and was just wondering how much water I should consider bringing with me.

I'm currently at 700' elevation and used to 100* heat (so I'm not sure how well I'll hydrate or if that won't be a problem). Since I am driving to Idaho, I'm not sure if I'll have more than 2 nights to acclimate.

Also, is the move coming onto the snowbridge really a big deal at all. I seem to have found a number of trip reports where people have bailed at that point.

Lastly, is the bridge worn down enough that I won't need an ice axe (or could this change by the time that I get there).

Thanks in advance
