What a perfect day! No wind to speak of. Chilly but the sun was warming. Only saw one other on Liberty (Whitney?) on the way up, and one between Liberty and Flume. On the return, Liberty was mobbed!!!! At least 30 people. Complete chaos.
Trail was smooth, flat and fast on the way up. A little less consolidated between the peaks, but still well traveled. Some traffic out across the ridge towards Lincoln, but not much. I wore shoes car to car. Most people I saw were in spikes or bare boots. Thus trail was choppy on the way out, but still not bad considering. Million dollar views today. |
