Comments
Comments: Glencliff Trail: muddy until the last mile, then snow-covered. You don't need the snowshoes until (perhaps) the final half mile. We were able to microspike it today, but if the temps had been warmer then we would have needed the snowshoes.

South Peak spur -- snow is somewhat deep, but the snowpack was firm enough (today) to microspike it without postholing.
