 | Comments: |
All blue-sky day--views everywhere with only slight haze. After two colder nights, trail is packed/firm for any footing in am, although traction helpful up summit cone. As warming proceeds, snowshoes are the way, unless you prefer 1-2' postholing as demonstrated along trails from recent warming.
Kestrel data: T= 23F W= 3-5mph avg 10.6 max WC= 17F, briefly 6F |
