 | Comments: |
Georg, Cinnilla and I were joined by Schorman for this great hike.
We used snowwhoes for the entire hike and were perfectly comfortable with that. Crawford Path and Webster-Jackson are well consolidated and bare-bootable (with or without traction).
Crawford Path From the Webster Cliff junction to Eisenhower summit is boney with some icy patches.
Webster Cliff from Mizpah Hut to Jackson summit is badly postholed. We smoothened it quite a bit and other groups in snowshoes later in the day may have improved it further but the holes are so deep that they are not going to disappear easily. |
