 | Comments: |
Trail well packed for booting. Microspikes seemed perfect this afternoon. Still 2-4 feet of snowpack. Steep area above the old fire warden's cabin was passable with Microspikes, but could be problematic soon, as it appears there is a bunch of blue ice not too far under the snowpack at this no fall zone (big cliff drop off). |
