 | Comments: |
Did this peak for April a week ago and conditions were really good. They were even better today! The water level was even lower and the monorail was gone in many places or greatly reduced. No need for traction as the little ice/monorail you encounter can be avoided on either side. On the summit plateau the monorail is stable and can be easily traversed. The normal muddy sections while still muddy/wet were also much less than in the past. About as easy a get as OH can be. |
