 | Comments: |
Conditions were pretty standard. Dry trail, mud, river running down trail, lots of rock steps, significant mud, repeat all of the above. Both herd paths were easy to follow and in good shape. Iso Express is a bit wetter but still good. One small snow "field" at the top of the Iso Express before Davis Path. Very stable and walked over it. a couple of small patches on Davis Path. Temps and wind made this a sit at the summit day! |
