Beautiful day, the warm weather made the snow/ice sticky enough that traction wasn't necessary. There was snow, mud, and slush for most of the trail (except Carriage Rd). Only place we put traction on was heading up the South Peak Spur. We could see some long boot marks from people sliding back on their way up. Standing water/slush near summit. Awesome day to get above the trees |
