Trail conditions:
A little mud and a couple of walk-around blowdowns, otherwise dry up to about 2700 ft. After that patchy snow/ice up to 2900 ft.
consolidated snow and ice the rest of the way.( still much snow on those north facing slopes )
Equipment: light traction and crampons
Comments:
Blazes are few and far between up to the garfield ridge trail.
Confusion at 3800 had me briefly off the trail on the way up, as well as, on the way back, in a different place.
I used microspikes from snowline to summit and back however, I would highly recommend crampons on the garfield ridge trail!
Nice day off. mostly sunny and windy with summit temps in the low 50's
