| Comments: |
We wore snowshoes all day but could easily have been done in microspikes. Most people I saw were in crampons/microspikes. We should have removed our snowshoes from the hut on but we were to lazy and we were able to do it with them on with some careful stepping. Trail is well packed and easy to follow. |
