| Comments: |
Rocky hike, but this allows easy traverse of wet or muddy spots. Monorail is solid, but starting to get slushy. Bare ground for 3/4 of the hike. Barebooted until last mile, then microspikes for added traction until almost at the top. Then bare again. Used poles on the way down, not spikes. |
