 | Comments: |
Crawford path up to the Pierce/Eisenhower junction was well-packed and fine with spikes/crampons. Snowshoes were needed between Pierce and Eisenhower. Many people did not have snowshoes and created a lot of post-holes. We had to break trail on the Webster Cliff Trail between Pierce and the Mizpah Hut. Show drifts ranged from knee deep to shoulder deep snow. The Mizpah Cutoff down to the Crawford path was well broken out. |
