Comments
Comments: Trail was in good shape. Microspikes take your hike from laser-focus-on-staying-up to a pleasant trek. Saw many people without spikes getting off trail and hanging onto trees. Thankfully, the ground recently froze, minimizing their damage.

Great weather, cool and clear. View from the top was outstanding and the ledge was pretty dry and ice free. The shaded trail was where the melt-off became ice sheets and drainage on the trail.
