 | Comments: |
This hike had it all with foliage down below, rime ice on the summits, and everything inbetween..Good stuff..Microspikes a big help and adaquate for all ice encountered,,some deep drifts along Crawford resulted in some deep postholes but snowshoes would have been silly..By the time we reached Ike most snow slushy though next cold day will have lots of ice.. Top of Edmunds Path down to the gate the iciest stretch of trail..Great views along Gulfside..30 degrees 30-40 mph winds on summit |
