| Comments: |
Webster-Jackson Tr and Crawford Path are well tracked out. Need microspikes on Webster-Jackson, Crawford Path can mostly be booted. Webster Cliff traverse has a lot of postholing often above the knee, some foot tracks make it a bit easier but it's still slow going. Someone I talked to said the trail from Pierce to Eisenhower had similar conditions. Off trail on the summits there are waist-deep drifts on the leeward sides |
