 | Comments: |
Microspikes handy for maneuvering elevated stable monorail still standing on upper half mile or so. Trail was extremely wet - like walking through a stream in some sections. Road was dry and in excellent shape. Got slightly wet when it started raining about half-way up before donning our rain jackets. Precipitation changed from rain to graupel to rain again and continued for about 45 minutes total, then the sun came out and we were just about dry by the time we reached the summit. Great views and perfect temp! |
