Ammo has been rerouted and it’s possibly better to park in the Ammo lot.. the Ravine trail had solid ice under many sections so be prepared (we switched to K10’s)…the fresh snow covered some dangerous postholes and crevices.. up Monroe was uneventful… Crawford Path had 1-2’ of new drifty snow that hid the ankle-twisting rocks.. the descent of the Cog was textbook pain in the a$$… solid ice underneath new snow that was balling up later in the afternoon… by Jacobs Ladder there is still solid ice underneath, but since the snowpack has melted considerably, a fall here will not result in a trip over the edge into the Ravine, but you’ll likely come to rest against the rocks that line the edge.. be safe! |
