| Comments: |
I wore snowshoes the entire way. Ice ax helped on the side hill on Crawford Path above the hut. The one section I entertained a switch was coming off Monroe, but with care, it was okay. Ammo had good snow cover, but was choppy from non-snowshoe use and was butt-slid. Pretty good snow above treeline except on Monroe, which was icy. |
