 | Comments: |
Lots of fresh, fluffy snow on top of occasionally slippery packed snow and ice. Ice Spikes or snowshoes with good traction are highly advised. Very visible snowshoe trail for most of the hike. Summit above treeline was EXTREMELY windy and cold... face protection, gloves etc are a must. Rime frost coated all signs and plaques to the point that they were illegible. |
