Comments
Comments: I cramponed up and down the summit slabs - otherwise barebooted (stiff boots). I suspect some would prefer light traction for the entire trail -- especially the few steep pitches. The footway was quite firm. The tracked route seems to wander slightly between Tisdale Spring and the final summit ascent.
