| Comments: |
Trail was extremely icy. Took the Winslow Trail up and 75% of it was very icy. We had Trail Hillsound crampons that were in good shape, but we still slipped a lot. Took the Barlow trail down and it was probably 90% pure ice. If we had to do it over again in these conditions we would pass. |
