| Comments: |
The trail is mostly a river up to about 2,800’(after the eyebrow intersection)
2,800-3,500 is a mix of dirt, ice and monorail.
3,500’+ the rotting monorail took over. You will want spikes from here up. My elbow and ass say you probably want to leave them on the decent for a little longer. |
