 | Comments: |
Mixed bag of trail conditions. Bare booted to around 2700' then spike went on. Spots of shallow crusty ice and snow begin here. At around 3100' the VERY narrow but surprisingly supportive monorail appears and remains to the summit. Walk the tightrope! Summit only had small patches of snow mainly around the perimeter. |
