Trail Conditions: Trail from parking lot to Lonesome Lake, to Jimmy, to Kinsman Ridge. Crampons from the parking lot to the summits and back. Eric used Micro-spikes and did well, except for sections of ice on the steep sections. Solid snow cover all day - good hard packed snow. Between North and South due to a wonderful sun shine, it was soft.
Special Equipment Required: Crampons/poles/micro-spikes/sun screen
Comments: A great day, Temps in the mid 30's in shade, warmer in the sun. We didn't see to many folks on the way up coming back from South the North peak was packed.
What a way to start the Spring season!
