Comments
Comments: If you like ice in as many different forms as possible, this is your Mountain right now! Monorail was beginning to break up below 3400’, only a few stretches fully intact on return from summit before noon today. Recommend crampons for the last .04. Spikes for the first 2 miles or so, but there are spots along the water/ice trail that crampons would help too, especially with one challenging water crossing.
