Comments
Comments: Trail was overall in good shape. Traction needed, a fair amount of icy parts. Not enough snow for snowshoes. Still rocks and roots sticking out a bit lower down since there wasn't a lot of snow pack. Mostly socked in on the way up but some good views on the way down. Lodge up top was open and had red gatorade which made my day. I don't mind ladders, it is a bit awkward getting on to the ladder going down since the ledge is very narrow; if anyone in your group is hesitant about ladders plan to spend some extra time here.
