Comments
Comments: First couple of miles were combo of dry, mud, and some thin monorail that you could walk beside. At about 2500 feet, opted for snowshoes as snow was getting deeper and soft. There is some confusion at 2700 feet where Pine Bend takes a sharp left turn. I somehow managed to follow a previous bushwhacker's track from this point straight up to the ridge at 3400 feet. Could have opted to turn around and follow the proper trail but this one seemed to work, although very steep. At the ridge, took a left and went for about .1 miles to meet up with the Pine bend again. The monorail on the ridge to North and Middle was surprisingly stable and I moved with ease using snowshoes. Lots of postholes on either side. Decided to take the proper trail on the way down and it was fine until the trail takes a sharp turn to the left. Side slabby mush, impossible to stay upright at times.
Condidtions were awful on this section. Really glad to get these peaks done for spring. Still 2-3+feet of snow above 2700 feet.
