| Comments: |
Started 04:30, warmed up quickly and quickly ditched the sweatshirt. Lower elevations are clear of snow. Past Greenleaf hut are patches of unstable monorail up to 80 feet. Use of traction can be avoided with careful foot placement. Above treeline monorail disappears and trail is clear to the summit. |
