Comments
Comments: Very pleasant day. Spent quite a bit of time at the top just hanging out. Took my time. There are a few short stretches towards the top of rotting snow/monorail. You could put on spikes for a couple of sections but very shortly you would be taking them off. Probably not worth it. Used spikes for one of the sections on the way up but didn't bother with them at all on the way down.
