We barebooted almost all the way up. Trail was a bit soft, but we never postholed. We did leave half-inch (at most) footprints from time to time...IMO, shallow footprints don't mandate the donning of snowshoes... I did put my 'shoes on about halfway up the last section (between Mizpah Cut-Off and summit) since the snow was much softer in that area and postholing became a real danger in that specific section.
We thought about heading over to Ike, but there was no view from Pierce and Sage's mantra is: "No views, no point." Instead, we took our time on the way down, fed a couple of Gray Jays, and enjoyed some sledding.
I'll have a blogpost up in a couple of days. |
