Comments
Comments: Turned out to be warmer and calmer than expected. Beautiful day and excellent views from the many view points along the way. Very little ice until just below the steep section below the intersection with the Carter-Moriah trail. Then icy in places to the summit. Some patches required close attention but there was never enough to warrant traction. Congrats to Franco for finishing November!
