 | Comments: |
Snow free until the last 0.25 mile near the summit where it starts with crusty breakable ice and turns into shallow soft rotting monorail that we poked through, although is mostly avoidable. Snowshoes would not help. One could argue for spikes but the snow is so soft that traction wouldn’t really bite. Opted to not go to south since it appeared to remain a soft monorail and didn’t want to kill the fun. |
