Comments
Comments: The trail is quite icy for most of the way, with a dusting of snow cover to complicate things a bit. Light traction can be used for much of the trail, but there are numerous long sections of very thick blue floe ice on the steep portions -- traction, or at least something more aggressive than Microspikes, is advised, particular for where the floes are canted/angled. The ledges up top are pretty much dry or covered with just a dusting of snow.
