| Comments: |
Blue skies with comfortably cool temps to start progressing to warm midday and afternoon. Trail was manageable from start to finish with microspikes but one of our group felt significantly more stable using crampons on the way down. Infinite views. Loads of cheery people raved about our friendly dog pack. Kestrel data on Ike T=36F, W=22, WC=22. Be ready for ice. |
