See Gray Wolf conditions for approach info. Nice glissade opportunity heading down to the saddle between the two peaks. From basically the low spot, I re-donned snowshoes the entire way to the summit of Spalding. There is nice supportive snow coverage the entire way making it relatively easily. Coming off the summit to meet back up with the trench used on the approach, snow is excellent for a mix of plunge stepping and glissading. I was worried, but zero issues post holing in the willows back to the road.
