 | Comments: |
This may be my last time using this trail (other than in the winter with snow-cover) because of the erosion. It looks worse than last year. Started seeing patches of ice around 3,000 ft and then a bit more of a monorail around 3,600 ft until hitting around 3800 ft. It was avoidable with plenty of rocks around and some of the monorail was stable enough to walk on. Didn't need traction until heading down and only for a tiny bit. |
