|  |  |  | Comments: | Bear booted 1st 2/3rd then micros. Ice down low but really had no issues. Once on stayed on. Mixed bag on trail, ice then bare, over & over. From spring all ice with increasing thickness. Summit completely fogged in, no views today. Stairs on lookout had no ice. 2 Grey Jays just past summit all over me for food. Spikes a must on the way down. Took mine off just before 2nd view point & went down hard. Worst fall ever hiking, but all is good. Mild temps light wind made up for no view. Great day for the end of November! |  |  |  |  | Name: | buzza77 |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | buzza77@msn.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2020-11-27 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
