 | Comments: |
The loop itself is not bad; just be cautious about post-holing. Naked summit with high winds on that particular day, prep below treeline before climbing on the rocks to the top. The rock scramble to the top was cleared of snow and dry, so traction was not a major issue. The service road was cleared near the bottom but began to get covered with elevation gain progressively. |
