The trench for the winter variation of the route is easy to follow from the trailhead until about 500ft below tree line. From there to the ridge we lost the trail a couple times and ended up making our own trail to the ridge. Once on the ridge it is possible to stay mostly on dry terrain. We were able to get by with microspikes on the way up but absolutely needed the snowshoes on the way down. Even with them we were post holing in spots up to our hips. I have pictures if anyone is interested. |
