Comments
Comments: Trail was very slippery. It was easy to get into a situation where you could get up the trail, but down was very difficult. Microspikes did not provide enough traction on the refrozen snow. Ice Axe would have been useful, as it was easy to slip and some sections of the trail are very narrow and steep.
