 | Comments: |
Trail started off dry and free of snow and then some mud. After the junction started seeing traces of leftover monorail but a mix of that and dry ground for a while. Put spikes on around 3000ft. The monorail was stable (This was a 8:10 summit/9am on south so it was early enough that things were still solid). Snow is still 3-4ft in places-stay on the monorail in higher elevations. There are some areas of bare rock on summits. Didn't need to change to snowshoes or crampons. Good hike-beautiful day. |
