 | Comments: |
Dry trail until around 3200 feet, then monorail to the top. No snow on the summit. The monorail was very soft with plenty of postholes and collapsing snowbridges. Spikes took a ride in our bags since the snow was so soft but could have helped with a more controlled descent (we ran). Water crossings were not an issue; feet stayed dry. |
