 | Comments: |
Mostly dry trail up until about 1/2 mile below the shelter then a nightmare of a monorail until about 1 mile from the summit then mud, flowing water and dry trail. A mixed bag today but microspikes were helpful. I did find a Kahtoola microspike (red rubber, size large) which I did pick up. If you'd like it back I'd be happy to mail it. schubertr1@hotmail.com |
