Did not see a soul all morning. Of course it was a little chilly. Wore micros until partway up the final ascent to Camel's Hump. There was some solid ice in the trail from the jct of dean and monroe all the way up through.
I saw tracks of where some one had been up and down earlier in the morning on the last .3 to the summit and it looked as if they were skidding all over the place so put crampons for the way down. Was much more stable and safer. Beautiful Bluebird day. |
