Comments
Comments: Solo up Holts Ledge via AT to viewpoints and true summit. Consistent hard ice beneath 1" fresh powder at low elevations, transitioning to hardpack beneath 3" fresh powder on the ridgeline. Trail is broken out all the way to the summit, and I observed footprints continuing on the AT southbound, presumably to the next road crossing. No traffic observed at shelter spur.
