| Comments: |
Snowy climb. Some areas of trail were hard to find on way down due to snowfall on descent. Wore only microspikes. Had snowshoes with us and should have put them on for the first half of hike but were fine with just spikes. Second half of hike, after outlook, above treelike, is precarious as the snow wasn’t stable and it was easy to slide down toward the trees. Descent was fast - glissaded a couple times, intentionally and unintentionally. |
