Comments
Comments: first half mile or so is bare, begins gaining snow as you approach the hut but can do sithout traction. Fishin jimmy I wore traction mainly because I'm clumsy but had quite a few bare spots. Kinsman ridge to the kinsmans is mixed- lots of bare, especially near the summits, but also patches of ice and a solid monorail to follow. Kinsman ridge from intersection of Fishin Jimmy to Cannonballs is super post holed- there is a monorail but it is hard to stay on at times, and there are a few soft sections of snow where you can't avoid postholing a little...not to the point snow shoes would help
