Slippery in the morning going up Blueberry Ledge. The melting fresh snow made the ledges slippery and hid the ice that was below. fresh snow was balling on my microspikes so I switched to crampons about half way up. stayed in crampons for the trek across Rollins as there was a stable monorail under the fresh snow. some postholes on the sides of the trail that can be avoided. I stayed in crampons for the trip down Dicey's Mill then switched to bare boots shortly after the water crossing. There were wet leaves and standing water for much of the flats. The areas that receive the most sunlight with a southerly exposure are mostly clear of snow. The monorail continues throughout the shady areas especially at higher elevations. |
