Did this one with the Random Group of Hikers. There were some bare spots in the open fields down low but solid packed trail all the way to treeline. A couple of ice bulges along the Glencliff Trail but relatively easy to avoid. Above treeline it was mixed conditions - some solid windswept snow but mostly ice with a few patches of exposed rock (especially right at the summit). Wore spikes all day - the snowshoes went for a ride and I think regular crampons would be too much. |
