Trip with group of 12. Crusty snow ~2" on ridge with frost heaves below making for lots of unexpected post holing into frost heave holes. Lot of leaves on trail and hidden ice beneath in places. South facing slopes are bare with spotty ice where evergreens are absent. Lots of moose tracks on ridge. |
