Surprisingly good conditions for April. Barebooted all the way to the summit thanks to packed early morning trails. Wore spikes on the way down as the trails were getting soft. Post holed a few times, but the descent was best described as getting choppy and 3 inch divots every few steps.
A few hikers were wearing snow shoes which helped pack the trail a bit, but it's very much a choose your own traction situation.
Great to meet Chief and his crew today. |
