Date of Hike: 2 February 2013
Trail Conditions:
Trail up to Pierce was mostly packed snow with some ice patches. Between Pierce and Eisenhower was mostly sheets of ice with some exposed rock.
Special Equipment Required: Used micro spikes till ascent of Eisenhower then most of us changed to crampons or Hillsound Pro, used these to get back down also. Some people used micro spikes the whole way. Didn't see any bare booters.
Comments: Cold but low winds, ate lunch at summit of Eisenhower, excellent day of hiking.
