 | Comments: |
Generally quite good conditions considering the recent rainy weather. Some mud and slush here and there but it is very minor. The lower, mostly flat section, is just wet with minor icy sections.
The upper section is icy almost all the way. The short section from the cabin to the summit is crampon territory. |
