Water Crossing Notes
Water Crossing Notes: First water crossing is not yet bridged - decent amount of water flowing through, but I think we were able to break down the snowbanks enough to make it an easier crossing. The other water crossings were no problem.

Comments
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.
