Plenty of parking at LW. The porta potties are still there so assuming bathrooms are still closed but not positive. Always a pleasure to see the summer route open, saving all those extra 20 steps down the ramp :) |

 | Water Crossing Notes: |
First crossing was barely doable with dry feet. 2nd and 3rd we took the shoes off. I’m 6-1 and the water level was over my knees. Strong current. And that’s all just runoff, if any of the storms hit tomorrow it’s going to get real spicy. |

 | Comments: |
Went out on a little recon mission with Chase, Denise, and Bethanee. Few other people out today, oddly nobody but us had traction. Took the slide which is snow/ice free until it basically turns back into a trail, then spikes were helpful. Conditions up top weren’t as bad as we expected. The snowpack has taken a beating. See notes above on the crossings. |
