 | Comments: |
Crawford path was an easy monorail (???) all the way up the summit. There were sections of densely packed frozen post holes that made footing a little challenging periodically. Snow started about mid-morning and was never an issue until you emerged at the tree line just shy of the summit. The wind + snow cut visibility down to a hundred yards or so. The rocky/mossy summit of Pierce was a sheet of black ice so be sure to put on your spikes. |
