 | Comments: |
Trail was covered in ice. About 1.5 miles in, we switched from microspikes to crampons after the spikes were slipping. Ice was thick and hard below treeline, and varied between solid ice and crusty above as we worked towards the summit. Many rocks still exposed, many with ice on them. |
