Comments
Comments: Put the spikes on at the parking area. In the morning the trail was snow or ice covered until a 1/4 mile up Liberty Springs trail. For the next 3/4 mile it was only patches of snow or ice. From there the monorail was pretty stable. Exposed rock just before the summit. On our descent the monorail was starting to soften. There was much more exposed earth on the lower section of the trail
