| Comments: |
All in all a very good hike. A few spots on king ravine trail with some monorails and some minor postholing. Icy in some spots but we barebooted it up to the summit.
The Lowes path on the way down was a bit more icy. We found it much easier to make the descent with our microspikes on but there was still some slipping going on. I was expecting much worse conditions than what was there. |
