| Comments: |
Some ill-equipped individual postholed the entire trail before today. Only really annoying on the Carriage Road, where the holes were up to 3 feet deep and sometimes closely spaced. Trail is very firm. You just need to pay attention to all the postholes so you don't kill yourself. Micros are enough. There is no loose snow to speak of. Above treeline everything is blown off and the Carriage Road is a river of thick ice. Lots of exposed rock throughout.
Great day. 0F at the summit with bright blue skies, infinite sun and great visibility. Sustained at 30+mph, gusting over 40mph. Counted 19 folks on the trail today. |
