Comments
Comments: It was a great morning for this hike despite a chilly start and a little spring snow. Most of the trail was wet but not especially slippery. As the elevation increased, there were occasional patches of black ice, especially between Welch and Dickey and in the col, though they were mostly easy to avoid. Some of the slabs were characteristically slick in these conditions, but overall the hike felt straightforward and conditions were good. Microspikes came along for the ride but ended up not being necessary.
