 | Comments: |
It was an epic day to be out. At 0630, the temps were already around 30, and by 1400, they were about 50 at the parking area. Expect snow to be very crusty by tomorrow morning. Winds high up were 2-4 MPH at most, almost not noticeable in the trees.
Snowshoes made for an unremarkable approach on Livermore Trail, and were handy on the lower, less steep bits on the mountain. On the steep bits nearing North summit, there were several icy places where crampons were beneficial, though a bit of "bushwhacking-lite" for those with MicroSpikes could be sufficient to get around them. The path to the south summit is unbroken. |
