|  |  |  | Comments: | Be sure to bring traction.  The ice flows are enormous.  I've never before seen ice flows of the magnitude found on the Wilmot trail.  The Barlow trail also has a lot of ice but it is not as steep and more easily passed.  With traction you will not have any problems. |  |  |  |  | Name: | Ed'n Lauky |  |  |  |  | E-Mail: | Ednlauky@gmail.com |  |  |  |  | Date Submitted: | 2012-03-17 |  |  |  |  | Link: |  https:// |  |  |  | Disclaimer:  Reports are not verified - conditions may vary.
