Pretty much same conditions as Rachel's report a few days ago. Fast trail between Mizpah Cutoff jct. and Eisenhower summit. Some ice to deal with in here but rock spikes handled it easily. Below Mizpah Cutoff jct. was a mix of dry trail, ice and wet sections with many rocks to tip toe through the ice with care. Started lightly snowing at about 2:45 so conditions most likely changing as I type. Other hikers talked with were going down Edmands or over to Jackson. Light traction recommended; snowshoes not necessary but probably soon will be. |
