Just wanted to post updated conditions, the trail is solid pretty fast walking with traction and lots of ice flows that are difficult to avoid. Microspikes on until between the peaks then removed them on way up East peak bare boots for entire East peak. Everything out there from bare ground to feet of frozen snow with lots of postholing, both boot and snowshoe but very easy to walk around. Some weather changes ahead but it’s a good base. |
