If you like mid-April conditions, that’s what it is. Below 2,500’ was pretty brutal. One person ahead of me turned at the start of the steeps. The trail gradually hardened up and improved as I ascended, going from a massive snowshoe posthole every 3 steps to maybe every dozen. The best section of trail is from Scaur Ridge to the summit of North Tripyramid; it’s fairly solid in there with snowshoes on. Once at the summit of North, I was following the snowshoe tracks of someone who had come up the North Slide. He or she postholed (with snowshoes on) many dozens of times between North and Middle. I postholed a few myself, but it was noticeably more solid behind someone else. Now that it’s been packed both ways and with the cooler temps ahead, this should be a lot easier this week.
TLDR Would not have made it without snowshoes. |
