 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Parker on the north side of the Kanc near Lily Pond where a wide shoulder had been plowed. The TH sign for Livermore Tr was broken off from the snowplow so I fished it out from the snow and stood it against a tree. |

There are a few large blowdowns near Livermore Pass, and between North and Middle Tripyramid that will need an ax or large saw. Very few blazes along the way. |

Marlie led the way on these lightly used trails. The crusty snow could cause an issue for some dogs. Not much unfrozen water on the ridge. |

 | Comments: |
Just because it's December doesn't mean I have to put away the red marker yet. This was a nice although not the most interesting approach to the Tripyramids. About three inches of snow from the Kanc to Livermore Pass with a crust on top. South of the pass there was only about a half inch of snow. Up on the ridge there is only a couple of inches but it is mostly packed. I barebooted to the summit of North Tripyramid but put on the microspikes for the walk over to Middle and left them on until I was back on Scaur Ridge Tr. Saw only one other person all day.
