 | Comments: |
Trail is packed down with an inch or two of fresh fluffy snow along the ridge between peaks. I was fine in light traction but snowshoes up the steeps for the televators or along the ridge would be fine too. No ice to speak of through the steep section up to east peak.
The chimney bypass is broken out and straightforward.
Quiet morning on trail, snow lightly falling throughout the hike over beautiful snowy conditions. |
