No spikes needed anymore for Lionhead trail. The two steep odd-angled snow fields just below treeline can be traversed without traction, just use caution. These should even get easier to cross as the week progresses with the warm temps. Above treeline is bare ground, except for three snowfields below the Keyhole. The first two are low-angled and easy to walk right over, the third is steep but can be avoided by rock hopping along the edge.
Nice morning on the Rockpile, good views, minimal wind, and quiet trails. |
