| Comments: |
Bottom half of the mountain: LOT of slush, wet snow, spring like conditions minus the snow depth.
Top half of the mountain: snow, not deeep.
Summit: totally covered with ice, light traction mandatory. Strong wind. Trail unmarked (markers covered by ice), will be hard to find your way if you don't know the trail already (especially going southward)
Really beautiful and awesome day and hike! |
