Comments
Comments: Traction is definitely needed (microspikes). Snow was hard enough where snowshoes were unnecessary. Watch your footing, there is boilerplate ice in a few areas of the trail, and in the exposed half mile to the summit it increases. There are a few areas where there are postholes, but not too bad.
