| Comments: |
The trail is in decent shape. Below 3400’, it’s dry but muddy in some spots, but minor enough to walk through or around. From about 3400’ to 3700’ there is still snow/ice and the monorail is really narrow. I barebooted up the whole way but wore spikes down for just that section. From when you reach the first cairn towards the top, it’s bare to the summit. |
