| Comments: |
Micro spiked on a stable monorail to the top of Pierce. Snow depth increased after Gibbs Falls. Still wall to wall snow up to the Webster Cliff Trail. From there to the top of Pierce was bare ground. On to Eienhower was a mixed bag of deep unstable snow and bare rock. Eisenhower Loop was bare ground. We used snowshoes once past The Webster Cliff Trail all the way back to Gibbs Falls. Great day to be out with Liz. |
