Comments
Comments: Trails were all hard packed. There was many icy sections and some were covered with maybe an inch of snow on top. There isn't a whole lot of snow, surprisingly. Spikes worked best. You could use snowshoes if you really wanted, but you'll be kicking rocks. The summit was also completely covered in ice. Kinda sketchy, but here I am living to tell the tale.
