 | Comments: |
The trail was very firm and easy to follow. For traction we wore microspikes the whole time. Snowshoes and crampons got a free ride on the packs. Mt. Morgan trail was all hard packed frozen snow. a few post holes here and there. Clear views on the summit and blue skies. Crawford Ridge Pole was well packed and frozen as well. Great traction the whole way. We took Mt. Percival trail down. There were a few ice flows near the top that were a bit tricky at times and required some but sliding to get down. Finally we took the Morse Trail back to the parking lot |
