 | Comments: |
T-shirt, shorts & micro spikes were the rule today, with temps up to 80. Ice monorail began half way up the long stone staircase past the Cutoff trail junct. Snow deepened steadily above there, with little ice until the upper ledges. Snow monorail solid despite warm temps. Did not posthole once, but passed some very deep ones on the upper section. Windy and warm on the summit. Snow should be fading fast. A great day to be out! |
