Comments
Comments: Started up trail with light traction for the steep section on a good hard packed snowpack. Snowshoes needed along the ridge to pack down the drifted snow. Above treeline the trail was nearly all ice. Temps from 0 to 15 with high clouds, windy above treeline. I saw about a dozen hikers. A really nice day for my 40th NHW4K.
