| Comments: |
Every kind of condition. Bare boots for the first/last 2 miles. Spikes almost to the summit of the Dome, then snowshoes over to hight and down to zeta pass. Then spikes.
A lot of caution is required because there is still up to 5 feet of snow at spots at the higher elevation and it's very difficult to avoid deep postholes while the monorail is collapsing everywhere. Mt Hight is not well broken out.
