 | Comments: |
Cold start, sunny, parking lot full (big women's leadership group ahead of me), fair amount of new snow since last week's climb - snowshoes recommended, although there were several on microspikes - along the traverse from Morgan to Percival, lots of drifted snow and deep postholes. I did not attempt the descent of Percival on snowshoes and backtracked along the traverse back to Morgan and down. Several were reported to have climbed the ladders. No evidence of past hikers on Ridgepole trail beyond Percival or south of Morgan. |
