No ice until about 3200' and a surprisingly stable monorail going up to the junction. It was stable but can see some post-holes forming. Spikes from 3300' to right below the summit-summit is bare rock. I brought snowshoes as I read the ridge between Flume and Liberty was starting to soften up so you will want to bring them to reduce the agony of slipping around in mashed potatoes. I never made it to Flume-ran out of steam-I forgot about the never ending staircase that is Liberty Springs. Still a beautiful day to be out :) and I officially gridded this peak out woohoo! |
