Comments
Comments: Great going until the top of the ledges and then there are numerous bent ovee softwoods laden with ice that will slow hikers down. There are a couple of blowdowns that are that annoying height, too low to scoot under too high to go over. Summit was 360 views and the tower was really too warm to stay in.
