 | Comments: |
Trail is well packed all the way to the summit with the exception of the last 100 feet or so where the trail is fully exposed to the sun. Here it is all chewed up and was very slippery due to the temps. I used microspikes for the ascent and then snowshoes for descent since the snow had softened considerably. Fantastic weather! |
