| Comments: |
The Mt. Tecumseh Trail was snow/ice free and mostly dry until just before the third brook crossing (after the point where the trail loses 50 or so feet in elevation). Some monorail on either side of the brook, then the trail had spotty monorail and snow/ice patches the rest of the way to the summit. The ridge was mostly snow free, and the summit was completely snow free. Brought light traction but didn't need it.
Managed to beat the rain for the most part, despite starting at 1:05 PM. No rain going up, and only a few random sprinkles going down. Great views from the summit despite heavily overcast skies. |
