Comments
Comments: Garfield Road to about 3000 feet is dry to wet, with some mud but no snow. After there is a thin layer of ice building to a rapidly detoriating monorail. I used microspikes all the way to the summit. Top of the mountain was open but looked coated.

Met 3 young ladies with their grandfather doing their first 4000 footer.

Conditions were overall not bad it even cleared off some on the way down
