| Comments: |
Webster Jackson Trail a thin layer of packed snow with some icy spots. On the Jackson Branch heading up, especially above 3500 feet the flow ice was continuous with only a few bare or snow places. Ledge rocks mostly bare..Chose the loop route via Webster Cliff trail which was very nice with mostly loose snow and a couple of icy spots. Mizpah Cutoff easy going. Some ice on Crawford Path but mostly good footing. Microspikes were the gear of choice though if I had descended via the ascent route I would have put on my mini cramps as the ice went on for quite awhile...Sure enjoyed meeting up with Ric B and group..way to go Laura!! number 33 today |
