Headed up to get these today. Water crossings were bridged. There were a few sketchy icy spots going up Falling Waters. I wanted to put my crampons on but we managed to get up with just spikes. The trail in the morning was packed with a few areas with snow drifts. The higher we got, we ran in to more drifts but not bad. The ridge was a combination of rime ice and snow drifts. We just kept our spikes on. Coming down off Lafayette, the rime ice was mixed with bare rock. As we got lower the trail started getting mushy and slippery.
