As you can imagine, the trail conditions are a mix. Really nothing all that unbearable or that you can’t get around. Not much to say about Webster Jackson trail, wet in spots.. but the monorail that was left was short enough distance and reasonably easy to navigate without traction. Any exposed rocks towards summit were bone dry. Webster cliff was not a swamp. It was actually not super muddy, could get around any wetness if you pay attention.. I found this section surprisingly enjoyable per others personal aversion to their previous experiences.. not bad at all for my first full send between these two peaks. The only part of Crawford path with monorail is just as you get into trees (coming down from summit) it was pretty built up but solid and didn’t require my spikes. Rest of trail is wet in sections.. dry down low. Just want to say, overall just keep an eye on the rocks as you place feet and otherwise assume if you step in the mud it could consume your foot. Overall not incredibly poor drainage but there could be some work done to help this out a bit.. I’d bring the rock spikes just in case but likely just end up mostly carrying them.
Have fun, be safe & happy hiking 🥾
