| Comments: |
Spotted car at Wildcat Ski slope. Parked at Great Gulf parking lot, crossed Rt. 16 and walked thru Camp Dodge heading east to meet Imp Trail. Encountered first bit of ice at 4000 ft. Enough bare rock to not need traction. Large snow bank in trail just before summit of Carter Dome. Several blowdowns as noted which were not too difficult to get around. Total traverse took 11 hours, 14.2 miles, 5915 feet of elevation. |
