Comments
Comments: We wore spikes the whole day but there are some spots above treeline and during the climb up ammo that crampons would have been pretty nice. No snowshoes were needed but after the warming temps today, the snow is getting soft. There isn’t much snow above treeline and the conditions from Monroe to Jefferson were a bit variable but all doable in spikes. The Clay loop is poorly broken out, though.
