| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
all the trails listed were in good shape, easy to follow with plenty of blazes and cairns above treeline. There was more ice than snow, with only a few sections being continuously icy for more than a few hundred feet at a time. Nothing too unavoidable. I hiked it all with my Bean Crestas but I did pack crampons.
Ice and snow mainly above 2,000 ft, obviously windy and cold at the summit ~15 degrees or so. |
