Comments
Comments: I was the first one on the trail yesterday morning. My first hike to these mountains. It was snowing with a couple of inches on the ground. At many of the ledges there is no way of telling which way to go. I'm sure that there are blazes painted on the trail but they were covered with snow. I'd suggest more cairns. Also, I was wearing microspikes. I busted my ass 3 times on the ledge ice. The ledges were steep and very slippery. I strongly suggest crampons.
