| Comments: |
Mild and calm in the woods but very socked in and windy up high.
Visibility adequate to see cairns and previous track but that is about it. Ice cream headache coming off summit but no ice cream . Always cool to be up high!
Trail on the way up was minimally broken, soft and a bit post holed; better on the way down with more snowshoe traffic.
p.s. right now you can snowshoe to summit. |
