|  |  |  | Comments: | Used campons for the slide and micro spikes the rest of the day.  The slide trail was easily managed with crampons.  About 1 to 2 inches of new snow.  As I got to the top of Flume it start started to snow and snowed until Greenleaf Hut.  There  the sun came out for about 10 minutes while I had a bite to eat.  Visibilty about 100ft with a brisk west wind on the ridge.  Very difficult trail to the hut from Lafayette.  Drifts, ice, and rocks.  Lots of hidden treasures.  Old Bridle Path was fast except for a few old post holes.  The only people I saw all day were in Layayette place finishing up a hike. |  |  |  |  | Name: | Dale |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | pbprider@yahoo.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2013-02-06 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
