Comments
Comments: This turned out to be a relatively quick hike since the trail is basically a highway. Get it while it’s good! The trail is nicely packed most of the way, with some deeper snow on the traverse. Microspikes were adequate. Butt sliding would be better descending the south peak. Foggy views when I summited—hope it cleared up for others. Happy trails!
