 | Dog-Related Notes: |
There were a few difficult ice flow sections on the upper Ammo. With some bushwacking, a few shoves, and lots of crying and whining my dog made it up OK. The remaining trails were dog easy assuming they are use to hiking above treeline. Lots of water on Ammo and enough snow here and there to keep her hydrated all day. |

 | Comments: |
Ice patches from the start of Ammo trail but didnt put spikes on until about half way up. From the Lake of the Clouds and on we bare booted. Neither summits required traction as they are bare of any snow or ice. Someone coming up behind us did the Ammo trail just in boots. I wouldnt have enjoyed that. |
