Comments
Comments: warm, warm, winter day. started with microspikes and needed crampons for final ice climb to peak. I kept the crampons on on the way down to the first stream crossing as there many icy sections making descending more scary than climbing. The trail is one rough and bumpy trail. the monorail was along the ridge near the peak. beware ice breaking through along trail and across streams. One moose at ridge near peak!
