Comments
Comments: About 1" of snow, from trailhead to summit. Wore Microspikes roundtrip, but probably could have barebooted. Much easier with the light traction though, as snow was hiding ice patches. Started bushwhack near ledgy/scrubby area on Lend-A-Hand Trail. Warning - my tracks go all over the place (was looking for some ledges). Found the woods to be generally pretty easy going if following fall line to ridge and then staying on ridge to recognized summit.
