Is there a lot of pure ice on the trail right now? I'm doing an overnight hike in about 1.5 weeks and was considering going from trail camp to summit before sunrise on the second day so I could watch the sunrise from the top. But if there will be ice or loose rocks from melting snow then I might reconsider hiking through that in the dark.
I'm hiking the weekend of Aug. 12 and was hoping to do something similar in regards to camping at trail camp and starting for the summit around 4am the next day. Please let me know if that's what you end up doing and how it goes. Thank you.
