Comments
Comments: Suprizingly nice day given the forecast. 28 at the start and 52 at the finish at 1:30PM. Trails are very manageable except the notorious Flume Slide accent which was OK with crampons in the trees with poles. Ridge was suprizing good shape with micro's. Used crampons for the first 1/4 of the decent on Liberty Springs because I'm old and don't fall well :-). Beautiful day...
