Dirty snow and ice show up after the Huntington Ravine junction on TRT, which can be barebooted or rock spiked. Lion Head trail is 75% clear of snow. There are three snowfield sections, the steepest one is right before reaching treeline (avalanche terrain zone in winter), it was not a problem yesterday, as it was very warm out, and we were able to spike it up following a boot pack. The other two snowfields are just past the Alpine Garden Trail junction up to the Keyhole. Again, since it was warm, the snow was soft, making for easy going. If it is below freezing, these three snowfields would get a little spicy. Tuckerman Ravine Trail up to the summit is bare ground.
Nice afternoon on the Rockpile. Entertaining looking down into the Bowl and over to the Eastern snowfield watching the skiers whoop it up! |
