| Comments: |
Webster-Jackson Trail was broken all the way to the summit of Jackson. Bugle Cliff was also broken out. Elephant Head and the Webster branch did not look to be broken out, however.
First set of ledges were covered in snow. Snowshoed all the way to the base of the summit ledges - those were mostly dry, though there was still plenty of ice. Microspikes were adequate to get up it. |
