I agree with the others. On the trail part of the West Summit trail, you'd be fine, but after marker 9 or so, you have to cross large boulders which are really slick when wet. You'd be better off hiking one of the other wonderful trails. The Rocky Valley/East Quarry trail will get you to a beautiful vista without having to traverse such slick boulders - definitely a safer choice. If you don't need a vista as your goal, then hike the base trail around the mountain.
