 | Comments: |
Ascent to Welch was mostly snow free. Some wet ledges and a few small patches of snow/ice.
Monorail between peaks, as well as some wet ledge. Made it without traction, but some may like light traction.
Some ice on upper portion of descent coming off Dickey...some may want light traction. Also some wet ledges up high. Mostly dry on lower half. |
