| Comments: |
Good packed snowshoe track on lower part of trail. Steeps a good workout for snowshoe traction. Trail on upper part of Ravine tracked, but any new snow or drifing will make it even more obscure. Trail from LOC hut to Monroe very obscure in the fog -- cairns heavily rimed. Used snowshoes to hut, crampons from there to Monroe. |
