wow was this a terrific hike! the trails are in pretty good shape and mostly easy to follow. even in the gulch while it was very tough the footway was plain to see especially with the recent blazing improvement. the upper end was tougher with less blazing which was less visible. the final pitch was sloppy and a bit tough to follow. there is still patches of ice in rock holes. I've been wanting to do this for 3 years but other things got in the way like a couple of hundred mountains! it really was tough but fun too and I round tripped it in 3hours and 50 minutes. |
