The first mile on glencliff trail was kinda melting making you feel like you are walking in sand. It takes more energy this first part. After that, the snow was well packed to the intersection of glenclif trail and carriage road. From there to the summit, snow was more powdery, even if we saw people with snowshoes, they were not mendatory. The last 0.9 miles to the summits, on the alpine zone, were under wind and in the clouds, some of us were wearing ski googles so we can locate the next huge giant cairns. Without ski google, it was very difficult to see them. We could not really hear each other cause the wind blows hard... We stay close to each other to not get lost. We made it to the submit, but if you are not well equiped, looks pretty easy to wander around and mistake a pine tree for a cairn. But was really nice and easy hike bellow tree line. |
