 | Comments: |
Very mixed bag. Dry trail down low; significant mud as we climbed; monorail for a while and then a lot of snow from the cabin to the summit. We were able to microspike because cold temps kept monorail stable. Significant postholes from cabin to summit. If you did not keep to very narrow monorail you sunk in. Cabin stairs have been removed and small porch is separating from the cabin. Use care if you go into cabin. |
