 | Comments: |
Lots of ice the closer you get to the summit. The summit is mostly dry and clear. Rest is mixed crusty snow and ice, with running water and leaves lower on the Manning trail. Still not enough for snowshoes other winter fun, but definite microspikes and trekking poles with carbide tips and snow baskets. |
