Decent day out - only saw one other person on Jefferson and he was doing a Prezi Traverse. Windy but clear. Able to barefoot to just below tree line. Then micro spikes to Sphinx Cole but mixed back of ice, snow, and rock. Took spikes off up to Jefferson cause I could stay on the rocks. Put spikes back on at Sphinx on the return and kept them on. Sometimes I was on rock or dry trail but too many ice patches to risk downhill slips. Monorail conditions low on Jewell. Cold this morning so no postholes but things are starting to break up down low |
