Started Friday 10/28 the day after the initial storm. 10/29 made it to trailcamp 9am with high winds and ice beginning on trail above mirror lake. micro spikes were the order of the day. new storm was moving in 10/30 so we decided to abandon back to trailhead. without a heavy snowfall microspikes are the ticket at least until trailcrest then crampons with snowshoes potentially dangerous or at least useless. there was water available at trailside meadow just before trailcamp. tempos were unusually warm forecast for 40 but probably in mid 50s. It is said the winter weather is unpredictable and that is an understatment as the only good info is here or on the trail as you are going up.
