| Comments: |
Another day of tricky conditions on the mountain. All the recent rain plus the almost 100% humidity today ensured everything was nice and wet, especially all the rocks and roots. Lots of slipping made for slow going. Had to be very deliberate with my steps today. Not nearly as much running water as last week, but a good amount of standing water pretty much everywhere. Still some ice hanging around at Fairy Spring. |
