 | Comments: |
Monorail started around 2,800’ and stable most of the way to the top. Stability deteriorated as the day went on and sun came out. Will be rough after a few more warm days as ice bridges give way. Post-holed a half-dozen times with 2-3’ of snow in places on either side of the trail. Saw quite a few folks with no traction, but definitely recommend spikes. Peak was clear and dry. |
