Started out as bare trail then increasingly more ice patches until I put on spikes around 2700 feet. Between 2800-3300 feet it was a mix of rock, hard ice, and occasional snow along fairly exposed drops. That part was a bit sketchy at times and slow going. Above 3400 there was consistent snow cover which was hard-packed easy to negotiate. The exposed rock areas near the summit were bare.
It could be the overnight melt but it looked like this trail surprisingly hasn't seen much traffic recently. I didn't see anyone else today. |
