| Comments: |
Crawford Path to Webster Cliff hard packed. Not as packed to Ike but firm enough for Hillsounds. The spikes were perfect on the ledges with thin snow over ice. Shoes from Pierce to the hut then back down to Crawford path. Crawford Cliff Spur was firm enough for Hillsounds as well. Kestrel had the temp @ +2 with winds only 2-3 mph and great visibility. Not a bad solo day on Ike. |
