| Comments: |
We all used spikes on the climb after the last crossing. Nice not to carry snowshoes or crampons. The monorail is narrow but solid with the cold weather Spikes were perfect and all that was necessary. On the ridge and summit views were spectacular The high hills were all white which was welcome. Great day to be out. |
