Comments
Comments: Crawford path was Monorail until Mizpah Cutoff. Microspikes are fine. Broke trail in snowshoes to the summit of Pierce. Thanks to the two people in mocorspikes that passed me and post-holed it.

Webster Jackson between Pierce and Mizpah was untracked and hard to follow at times. Broke trail the entire way. Lots of blow downs around Mizpah.

Mizpah cutoff back to Crawford path was also unbroken.

Very windy days the summit of Pierce.
