| Water Crossing Notes: |
the black pond bushwhack avoids the big crossings, which didn't look very safe or doable. the others are small and relatively easy, though we put on spikes to get across one and ended up leaving them on |

Bushwhacking is currently easy to follow, enough people have been going over it to pack it down, making it easy to see. We did go straight by the bushwhack going up the actual mountain, but the tracks get so much lighter after that its easy to backtrack and find it. Going up the slide it pretty strenuous but doable. definitely advisable to not go down that way. the trail is doable without spikes, but so icy in many small areas that it feels much safer just having them on constantly. |
