Comments
Comments: About 4” of powder from trailhead to the junction of the Carriage Road. Powder over ice covered rocks made for a slow and difficult/treacherous climb. Junction of the Carriage Road to the tree-line was 1 to 2 feet of drifting snow so the switch from micro-spikes to snowshoes was necessary. Then back to micro-spikes nearing the summit on bare sometimes ice-covered rocks.
