Date Hiked: 11/3

Conditions: Conditions were significantly improved over last Sunday. Much drier and no where near as much ice. Not a lot of mud which was frozen in the morning (nice), but thawed and a little messy in spots on the way out.

Special Required Equipment: We used stabilicers part way up Shorey to the Summit and back, but we saw a lot of people bare booting.

Comments: The conditions from here on are probably going to change almost daily. The ice wasn't a problem, you could easily navigate around it or march right through it with stabilicers but with more precipitation that could change. It was a cloudy day, but the views were great and there were only minimal winds on the summit. This was 44 for me. I'm looking forward to the big finish next weekend on Gray and Skylight!
