 | Comments: |
Perfect day for a hike. Stellar conditions with crystal clear blue skies. Bare booted all the way to summit although spikes might have come in handy so we put them on for the descent. Certainly made going a bit easier.
Snow and ice higher elevation not far from summit. Monorail surprisingly very stable so with spikes we walked right on top as some potholing on sides. Dry trail for most though with mud and water about half way up. |
