Comments
Comments: Loop is mostly snow/ice free. No traction needed.

An insignificant amount of ice in the crevasse on the Welch ascent. A few minor patches of ice in between the peaks (often the col is the last place to hold snow/ice, but it's just about melted now) and about a hundred yards of flat monorail just before the highpoint of Dickey.

Some wet ledge, but no more so than after a summer rain event. Some mud on the lower Welch side and some slippery leaves on the lower Dickey side.
