 | Comments: |
Left late and didn't have time to summit within daylight. Trail well-impacted up through the falls. Postholes increasing around 3000ft, getting worse above 3500ft. Can be avoided with conscious foot placement.
Cloud cover moving in around 4000 ft, but no precip.
Uses trail crampons, but some icy areas around required careful descent around the falls on the way down. |
