I hit the first ice at about 3500ft and it got worse from there with ice flows here and there. Up on the ridge it was a mixture of rotting snow and ice. The summits were in and out of the clouds this morning but as I got back to my car they cleared off. Guess I should have waited an hr. Anyway the temps were warm in the 40s and I only say two hikers on the way down. I wore hillsounds on the ice and they worked fine |
