| Comments: |
Snow is well packed except in a few places. We used microspikes as did many we saw but snowshoes and tolerators would would work fine and full crampons or at least trail crampon pro's would also work. Lots of glissading on the steeps so if the rain then cold comes you will want FULL Traction. Vegetable holds were helpful. Some drifting on the ridge. No views just thick gray. Highway was not a fun ride home. |
