Abol was well broken out. Table land was windy but easy to get around with crampons. Ice Axe and Crampons are a must on this trail. Hiked in from Abol Bridge to summit and back to Abol campground. Then out the next day. Tote road was well broken out with snowmobile use. A big thank you to my Dick for getting me off the peak in one piece! (Sorry for the late posting.) |
