i found a crampon on the isolation trail this past saturday. identify it, and its yours.

isolation has snow intermittently from 2750 up to 3090, just none on summit. plenty of postholing to be had. was thankful to have the snow yesterday, when we were miserably lost on the davis path, so we could reverse any routefinding errors hansel and grettel style.

whats the best way to do isolation this time of year, via rocky branch or glen boulder. i believe rocky branch is 2 miles longer than glen boulder, but provides some views? any stream crossings to worry about? any/ all info appreceated thanks harrison
