 | Comments: |
Good Weather. 63degF at base. Overcast. Fully protected hike = no wind.
Plentiful ice. Microspikes / substantial traction will be required to summit. Crossed with (at least) 15 hikers who turned around b/c of ice conditions.
On return, ice was melting to slush making microspikes less effective. Would recommend hiking poles if available.
Mud sections were messy, but few.
RT: 3hrs flat. |
