Comments
Comments: differing snow condions kept us in micros in ascent which worked out fine as CM ledges had a nice enough snow cover to pack steps..once past the summit ledge snowshoes seemed a good call ande xcept for a couple of messy places or bare rock i enjoyed their extra traction..Stoney Brook Trail a mess , trashed by bare boots up high..lots of running water in mid section..several large blowdown.. anmd a wet and muddy footbed on the old logging road as we head down towards the crossing.. Crossing was fine though some rocks were icy
