| Comments: |
Beautiful hike. Crawford path to Pierce was all ice and easy with microspikes. Webster Cliff between Pierce and the hut was full of postholes and very mushy -saw lots of evidence of butt-sliding and even with spikes we came pretty close to wiping out too. Cut-off was mushy/ice but easily manageable. |
