| Comments: |
Trial unbroken from trialhead to summit. Snowshoed entire hike. Some blue ice on ladders but the snowshoes worked fine. Snow depths ranged fron 6"-2' with an average of 12-15 inches. We had a tough day of breaking trail on this steep one. Ladder now exposed do to butt sliding. :-)
Ran into a couple on Willey who came up from Crawford depot so entire ridge should be broken out. |
