Stellar views this morning, presi's completely clear. Hiked it early. Patches of ice on first part of trail, but barebooted. Put microspikes on for the Jackson branch, and was happy with choice given some blue ice flows and 2-10 inches of snow/ice pack. Snowshoes completely unnecessary, even for the saintly snowshoers, no unpacked powder. Summit scramble ledges were free of any snow or impeding ice. |
