 | Comments: |
Completed the whole trail in microspikes. Skiers have scraped off a lot of snow on the upper parts of the Clark Trail, so solid steps were needed to get purchase on steeper bumps. The summit has enough ice that you can make it to the fire tower with only a couple steps on rock. Manning trail to Firescrew Peak has not been packed down, so snowshoes are definitely needed in that direction. |
