| Comments: |
Some short sections of glaze ice on trail in shadow areas on north-facing slopes, but nothing that could not be avoided with care. We brought traction -- didn't need it. Otherwise, most of trail, including the ledge-y sections, is bone dry.
Saw a few people on the trail today, but most turned around on South Moat; we pretty much had the trail to ourselves past there. |
