Comments
Comments: We among many had difficulty debating traction gear. Snowshoes up Jewell; microspikes until descent down tracks, by which time snow was so soggy that we postholed with snowshoes!


Splendid day out, many nice folks. Stayed below W summit to avoid crowds and time constraints.
Snow is now scattered, but so soggy that winter season is over.
