Bareboot all the way, up and down. I carried rock spikes but never needed them. 19MB Trail was all bare of snow/ice to the Carter Dome Trail jct, just some water and mucky/leafy/muddy spots. After the Carter Dome Trail jct the trail become more and more wet heading up - lots of rocks to choose from to avoid it but some of it you just end up trudging through. Not as bad/wet as I've seen it though. One small section of snow (like 15 ft) right before Wildcat Ridge Trail, stable and easily and quickly walked over. Wildcat Ridge Trail was 99.9% clear of snow and ice. There are tiny sections of monorail or icy/snowy patches which can all be easily avoided - the last tenth of a mile up to the summit had a couple more "significant" monorail/snow parts.. but some fancy footing and it's avoided. By significant I only mean thicker and wide and at pre around steep point-not long. You could basically pick up the remaining monorail and toss it off the side like Joe Dodge. Coming down was easy and no issue with the tiny bits of snow remaining (and I mean it, they are tiny). I saw not a single person today which seems par for the course for me on this mountain via these trails. |
