It was raining when I got out of the car, that sums up the day. No appreciable snow until about 3/4 of a mile up from where the eyebrow and at intersect. Used spikes the rest of the way. Some ice, some rotting monorail and some places bare. Up to the last false peak about 60% snow, above 80% and as a friend in the army used to say "it was a good day for lower order mollusks". I met one guy on the way down. I asked him if he had any spikes and he said he did not want to make it to easy. "Careful for what you wish for". |
