Comments
Comments: Short hike with E.T. Fudge and Ryan today so Fudge's big day next weekend will be a bit shorter.

This is likely the better way to Hale right now. Snow /ice free until higher up on FW (3k ft'ish). The heard path and North Twin Trail are not too muddy. Some running water on lower FW, before a quickly transitioning to breakable ice then short section of unstable monorail. After that the final mile was solid snowpack this morning.
