| Comments: |
We did not do the full loop, but rather went up to Dickey (clockwise) over the Welch, and back out over Dickey. We broke trail to Dickey in 6" of new snow with ledgey areas filled in with over a foot. Many pitches required care, but there was very little exposed ice. Lots of hikers out made for a well packed route by the end of the day. |
