Comments
Comments: Parked at the Edmand's Path parking lot and walked the road over to Crawford Path rather than doing it at the end. Crawford Path was clear of snow up until about a mile before the summit. Had microspikes on until we broke tree-line. Quite a few sections of soft snow and deteriorating monorail between Pierce and Eisenhower. Traction was not necessary because the snow was too soft. The first mile below tree-line coming down Edmand's Path was also sticky and quickly melting. The next few days should get pretty wet and messy with everything melting.
