Livermore Road/Trail, Scaur Ridge, Mt. Tripyramid Trail down the South Slide
Livermore trail down low is in pretty bad shape, but iced up enough to walk with care. Lots of post holes from snow shoes. Blowdowns are plenty throughout, but nothing too too bad. I lost the trail from Middle to South Peak and bushwacked to get to the peak and found the trail. Quickly lost it, but caught it again just above the slide. Once down the slide, I lost it yet again, but found it with about a mile to go and get back on the Livermore trail. With luck...it will snow again and cover my tracks...so no one follows!
As for equipment, I used Crampons for most of Scaur Ridge, and once the snow softened up I switched to snow shoes. And...I used my ice axe getting down the slide.
