I don't normally write negative posts, but...
Please don't bareboot on freshly broken trail that is not fully packed! That means you, barebooter to Morgan viewpoint (and if you thought you were at the summit, you weren't) and to the foursome with the corgi I passed on Morse on my way out.
At the time I went through, no bareboots from Morgan viewpoint to true summit and none down Percival via cliffs. Save a barebooter, trail to Percival parking lot not broken out, and even though I had that little piece already, I probably should have broken it out as a courtesy and so that barebooters wouldn't make more holes.
Ladders on Morgan looked clear, but the rockfaces appeared icy, so skipped and will get at a later time. Cliffs down Percival a bit sketchy with ice, snow, and bare rock.
First in the lot at about 8:30 am. Seven cars when I got done.
