| Comments: |
Put on Microspikes about a 1/2 mile from hut. Lots of boiler plate before reaching trail jct. to A Peak. Easy climb to A Peak due good footing provided by wet snow. One section of ice could be bypassed by an easy whack.
Wildcat Ridge had numerous sections of boiler plate ice and much care was needed to reach the platform. Easy hiking down Polecat which still had a good snow base. |
