| Comments: |
No ice or snow. Everything started dry but there was showering/drizzling a lot of the morning and all rocks were pretty wet by the time I was descending. Lots of leaves especially in the first mile which can make for treacherous footing. The first mile can also be very muddy but right now, thanks to the dry fall, everything is quite solid. |
