 | Comments: |
Trail was a bony mix of ice, melted water, rock, dirt. We put on spikes after about a mile on the way up....left them on for the rest of the hike.
Above Mizpah cutoff, there was more snow....the last 1/3 mile it was mostly a packed/granular.
Summit was cold (about -2 F with ~10mph winds). Cloud bank on the summit...blue sky below. |
