| Comments: |
Better weather than forecast. Trails in good shape, wet muddy down low in the usual spots. No snow/ice until about 3300 ft, but no issues. Spikes on just past lookout, icey but firm early. Looser on way down. Spikes off at chimney, never put them on again but could have. Summit views were fantastic. Only 4 others, very quiet today. Saw maybe 21 people, very surprised. Lots of erosion on sides of the steepest sections. |
