expect quite a bit of ice on all the ledges even though the snow is probably gone and with all this rain it will be muddy as hell.. that trail is only fun when its dry. if you go there.. STAY OFF THE BYPASSES.. when they are muddy they get torn up easily.

ok. will stay off bypasses. if ts too bad, i will prob turn back anyway. Or just turn around at the top of the end of the good ledges, or the top of the hill.

couple weeks ago we had only a couple rigs make it to commited (out of about 14), the rest either had to stay at the trailhead or stop and simply give up along the way.

this was with a fresh 8" snowfall though. probably much less now
