 | Comments: |
Hardpacked snow, with a few tenths of an inch of new snow at higher elevations. Used microspikes low down, and appreciated the greater security of crampons on the steeps. Snowshoes were extra baggage on this route today. There are some slightly obscure parts of the trail: in the North Tripyramid-Scaur Peak col, and off and on along the ridge between North and Middle. |
