| Comments: |
Several patches of angled ice on main trail, especially around Lafayette summit and descending on Greenlead Hut side. Recommend crampons, as micro spikes were marginal in places.
Approx 9 degrees F on summit with 30+ miles winds, blowing snow/ice. Matt Ernst and Ben Weatherby rounded out the group. |
