 | Comments: |
The trail was awesome until the switchbacks. Then the ice started. Put on the micro spikes then switched to the snow shoes. Ice was often undercut by running water causing it to colapse. Snow ended about 100 yards from the summit which was also snow free and the mud was soft, but not bad. |
