Took Mr Brooks for his first trip up my favorite mountain...Finally! Freakin gridders haha. We carried the snowshoes for a free ride, probably could have worn them from the lower falls loop junction to treeline but only postholed a couple times and there will be a billion people barebooting this trail so I’m not too worried about it.
Trails in pretty good shape. Summit cone is its usual tricky mix of bare rock, ice, drifts, and hard packed snow.
