| Comments: |
We only saw a few people on the way up and it was a combination of packed/unpacked powder snow. We saw a lot of people coming up as we were going down so trail is very well packed. Some pockets of slush around the brooks down low on the trail and some ice on the steep section ascending below the traverse. Summit marker of Starr KIng is obscured and covered by snow. Ran into a few other gridders today and a couple trail runners |
