Comments
Comments: Since Joyce is just getting over a bad head cold, we decided to not get too ambitious. It was still a breathing struggle for her today, so we stopped at S. Moat and went back down the same way.We gave up on the microspikes as the trail is about 50% clear.A lot of slippery wet ice in the shaded portions on the Lower part of the trail, however. We wacked around these.I expect all the snow to be gone by the end of this week's warm spell.
