 | Comments: |
Took advantage of the full moon and relatively mild temperatures. 7:45pm start/1:15am finish. Trail is well packed and the monorail is stable - excellent conditions for a fast hike - even at night. A fair amount of postholing - but all to the sides of the monorail. Used microspikes and hillsounds. Carried the snowshoes but did not use them. |
