| Comments: |
Significant leag coverage down low, some slippery/wet rocks and mud. Light snow above 3,000 feet. Ice once on Garfield Ridge. We bare booted to the summit but put spikes on for the descent. Wore spikes down Garfield Ridge and the first couple of switchbacks of Mount Garfield Trail. Ice and snow was actively melting by the time we were descending so these conditions might not be accurate now. |
