Tr. cond;Smooth packed out highway all the way to the top.Lower section after Tom Wiggins junction until stream crossing[no problem]slighty drifted due to high wind,but easy to follow.Section after stream crossing was like a sled run.Packed out nicely with very pleasant footbed to the summit.Thank you Longjohn for report on jan.4th on Rockets site.
spec. equipment;snowshoes from start to finish.Road walk did not require them,but most wore them anyways to keep the integrity of the road
Last of part of trail might need crampons if icey[likely on and off during winter]Full coverage today with usual variety of face garb.
comments;Decided to head up north at the last minute,glad I did.113 and 113a very icey,my car spun a little even with snowtires on the way in.Driving down ferncroft road in a whiteout was awesome.Cold wind chills today made for a longer ascent then hoped for but a very fast descent with such a nice track.Nice to meet Emma,"vinnie" and our own BEARDO!Met some chill dudes from Quebec city[Richard?].this peak is a steal right now.....
