| Comments: |
A little bit of everything when it comes to trail conditions. Some mud, slush, and running water near the trailhead. Otherwise, sticky spring snow balling up peoples microspikes. I never postholed. Light traction could be helpful in spots, but I never felt like I needed to put mine on.
The monorail is stable and happy! |
