About the best you could hope for in a spring climb of FLiberty. Wet flowing water intermixed with slush below the Flume Slide Trail junction. Becoming hard packed with occasional ice for the remainder of the climb. Well broken out and easy footing. A bit of a monorail forming at the top and on the ridge, it was mostly stable with only a few postholes. Amazing visibility and views. Softened up somewhat for the downclimb. We did spikes the whole way, some bareboot near the bottom. Ran into Steve and Tonia doing a ridge traverse!! |
