Same conditions as reported in the last few posts on this trail. Springy. Mud and snow. Spikes on at about 3100'. Monorail was good in spots and bad in spots. You will posthole at some point. Seems reckless to try this without traction, but there a few people trying. Brooks crossings are easy rock hops. Views got better as the clouds rose in the afternoon. Gray Jays are out. 47F at the base and 40F at the top. Bring your rock spikes. |
