Ye Olde Burr and Burton trail (aka Summit Blue trail) was slick down low. Staying on the margins in the crust helped with traction. Beyond the Spring Jct it was steep with more snow, less ice though you still needed to be mindful of foot placement as slick spots did exist. Again staying on the margins and the crusty snow helped keep us from slipping and sliding.
We barebooted out and back in partly cloudy skies with cooler temps in 20's.
Summit was a shock as I had not been up here since or otherwise heard about the old hotel being gone!
. We enjoyed a refreshing beer at summit and headed out. Ski poles useful, light traction would have been ok. Crampons maybe overkill. WNEHH now at 99/100 for me, 98/100 for me brother 'hans'.
