Adjusted our plans due to the cold and headed south with KatieB, Hayley, and Jackson the Dog. Went clockwise for the loop. Mt Morgan trail is nice and packed down but once you get past the summit everything is a mess and snowshoes would be the appropriate traction choice until you are back to the car. The ladies took the sporty route up the ladders, which are currently snow free, while J and I went around and met them up top. Bypassed the caves on the Percival side, looked like one set of boot prints had been that way. No issues on the ledges, few tricky spots but decent traction. No tracks heading to the Percival lot. |
