 | Comments: |
The conditions haven't changed much since rocket21's report last weekend. The trail was mostly dry with some mud below the first water crossing. There was some patches of snow and ice between the two water crossings. The monorail started shortly after the second water crossing. It was firm, and I never postholed. I used microspikes, and never had any need for snowshoes. I was the only one on the mountain that day, and shared the summit with a lone gray jay. |
