 | Comments: |
Going up Crawford Path was fine packed, but once above treeline trails were all ice. Managed with Hillsounds, but crampon isn't overkill. Windy with blowing snow drifts all morning covering the ice. Took a few falls nothing serious. Webster Cliff had some postholes but mostly frozen granular. Webster-Jackson pretty icy especially on ascent to and initial decent from Jackson. |
