Comments
Comments: Glencliff has snow cover from the trailhead to the top. Still doable with microspikes, but with a few more inches or some additional drifting, the final ascent to the peak from the ridge is going to get tricky without snowshoes. Benton and Tunnel untracked, few inches of powder -- easy enough to pack w/ boots.
