Comments
Comments: Bare boot all the way to the start of the Loop. Going up to South there is significant ice even with microspikes there were some scary spots. if you haven't sharpened your spikes you might want to. Between South and North bare ground. ice, snow, deep snow. Snowshoes would not be helpful. Pleasantly surprised to find the trail down from North Peak bare ground all the way until just before the bottom. The small up hill climb after crossing the brook was very icy.
