 | Comments: |
The trail is a mixed bag right now. A short section of ice at the start and then dry trail until the slabs. The slabs have the remains of boiler plate ice from last week pre- rain. The section after the slabs to the summit it pillow ice/ flow ice. Traction is a must. The section is very dangerous right now especially descending. We put on Hillsounds on the way up once we reached the slabs and switched to full crampons on the way down until We were off the slabs. We hiked down behind someone in microscopes that was really struggling. |
