The steep section down low on the Webster Jackson Trail had significant exposed ice. I was glad that we ascended this way. Some ice on the way up to Jackson. All easily avoided. Snow from Jackson to Mizpah hut was firm but not consolidated. We chose to stay in spikes. At the hut we switched to snow shoes and stayed in them to the tree line just below Eisenhower. There was alot of ice in the last 1/4 mile to the summit. The crawford path was in perfect microspike shape. |
