Comments
Comments: Mixed conditions - snowline is just below Butler Lodge at about 2600'. Used trail crampons (rock spikes) most of the day. Trails are a mix of bare rock, ice on rock, snow, and mud. I got up the peak and below treeline again before the wind got too pushy, but I was definitely getting blown around on more exposed areas. The summit trail (LT) is about 2 inches of wet slushy snow.
