| Comments: |
Trail was in good condition, all things considered. I barebooted for about the first 1.5 miles then used my Hillsounds the remainder. Carried my full crampons and snowshoes but never felt the need to use them. This trail has been more challenging on many other occasions that I've hiked it in winter. The ice and snow was pretty darn grippy which made me very happy. |
