Comments: Halfway House: up Fairy Spring to Smith Summit, down White Arrow to Smith Connecting to Cliff Walk to Noble

Another hiker said the ice bulge on lower White Arrow is tricky, but not scary. I skipped it in favor of detours that allowed me to use dull MicroSpikes. Having sharp Hillsounds in my pack made me feel better about one descent.
