| Comments: |
Beautiful 30 degree day with clear views. So much ice on the trail. I used microspikes from start to finish, with great care being required on the icy section. After this weeks 30+ inches, I don't suspect the ice will be an issue. Trail markings close to the summit are poor - lots of marked rocks that are buried under the snow. |
