 | Comments: |
Route up Crawford, Mizpah Cutoff, and WCT to Jackson very wet. Used microspikes for top of Jackson where they were very helpful on the icy summit. Other than here mostly barebooted but lots of slush and soft ice will be ice with colder temps. From Mizpah on up to Pierce and the Crawford Path below Pierce trails were mostly frozen. 3" snow near Pierce most come across today. |
