 | Comments: |
Crawford Connector to Crawford Path to Pierce, Crawford Path to Eisenhower, returned the way we came.
It was hard packed snow from the lot to Pierce summit with minor patches of ice. We bare booted easily, but it looked like most people wore spikes, a few wore snowshoes, and a few wore crampons. There were some postholes above the Mizpah Cutoff, but they were few and far between (albeit deep) and easy to avoid.
We wore spikes from Pierce to Eisenhower and all the way back to the car. The trail between the peaks was mostly well-packed (but not as hard as the trail up to Pierce. The final push up to Eisenhower was icy and windy with very little snow.
Perfect views today! |
