Gorgeous day out. no cars when i got there at 830am, as I was getting on the trail one pulled in and a trail runner past me early on. Saw 3 solo guys at the summit (one had moved on by the time I got there- saw him from below).No other solo ladies out there today, and i didnt run into anyone on my way down. The most treacherous ice was the last part of the road before the trail.Crusty ice just below the summit required care going down. Used spikes all the way; brought crampons but didn't need them |
