 | Comments: |
All in all a pretty straightforward hike. Some monorail after the split up to the hut. The climb up to Carter Dome was clear until after Pulpit Rock where unstable monorail and deeper snow started. Traction used all the way to Mt Hight except for the top of the Dome where it's completely Dry. Very steep and icy coming off Hight, good traction is a must here. After that, the way down is fairly easy. |
