 | Comments: |
Trails are packed down solidly. All previous post-holing has been smoothened out. A little choppy here and there but generally excellent conditions.
Stepper sections have been glissaded heavily (looks like it went horribly wrong for people in a couple of places). We used all the equipment listed above at some point during the hike but heavier traction is strongly recommended on the steeper sections - especially when descending.
We used the bypass to the bypass in the Chimney area.
As a result of the high snow-pack there are many excellent view-spots along the ridge which are not normally available. |
