Comments
Comments: All trail conditions out there today! Spikes on for most of Glen Boulder, off for the scramble (clear of ice), then back on until about 2 miles from the end where it turns to dirt and leaves. Soft snow, lots of post holing if you step anywhere off the trail and even on the trail. Ice bridges were breaking constantly. Water crossings weren't bad, but be prepared for wet feet just in case.
