| Comments: |
Crawford path was hard packed (bare bootable) up to Webster Cliff Tr. Snowshoes recommended beyond that. Over to Eisenhower, trail was much more visible than last week due to rain condensing the snow and clearing off the carns. We used crampons going up Eisenhower due to icy patches. |
