Blue skies and sunshine today! Began on Mount Clinton Rd and stayed on the Crawford Path. First mile or so where a mix of dry and slightly muddy. From there to Alpine was stable monorail, passed a couple groups struggling without micro spikes. Alpine was corn snow with a razor thin monorail, slight step off led to post hole. Traverse to Eisenhower took some determination but had stretches of rock to take breaks on. A few spots have running water, nice if you have a filter and need to top off your bottle. Summit cone of Eisenhower is clear and clean with spectacular views. |
