Lower white dot was wet to muddy. Cascade link had a good amount of running water on the trail, mostly avoidable. Red spot went from smaller ice floes to an impressive one going up an incline, trust your spikes!
I heard that Pumpelly had a bad icy section so I cut over to White dot on the Ski trail to join the parade to the top. Lots of avoiding wet rock on the lower slabs. A couple spots further up have short ice floes where spikes could be handy. The summit was dried out.
There were a couple more ice floes coming down Smith that required spikes. Cliff walk had some mostly avoidable ice, turning to wet trail the rest of the way back.
About the Halfway House side - I heard White arrow is terrible but Side foot is ok. |
