 | Comments: |
barebooted on ascent to the branch intersection with little problem on sporadic good monorail and packed snow..snowshoes on to the summit and back down to Bugle Cliff outlook as snow had softened and things were slippery.. Snowshoes the footware of choice today ..much of the trail badly trashed by barebooters including a couple of guys in sneakers and jeans.. ..snowshoes a big aid in flotation and traction from around 3000 feet to the summit...good day out |
