| Comments: |
Melting ice and snow. Parts of the Bridle path towards the parking lot are slushy/muddy. Trail at peak of Lafayette was non-existent today: Blue ice and Light covering of powdered snow made it difficult to maneuver around last steep quarter mile of peak. Would not have been possible to summit without crampons. |
