| Comments: |
This trail climbs from the get go moderately to the lodge. After that there are some scrambles that were very challaging with the ice and 1-2" of fresh snow on top. The summit was in the clouds but still a great day. The challange if decent was very difficult and slow going. It was a great day to be out on some new terrain. |
