Date of Hike: 5/3

Trail Conditions: Muddy, then monorail for last third of the trail. All river crossings are bridged. Noticable temperature drop in the notch, with the mist turning to freezing rain.

Special Equipment Required: Used crampons for the monorail, helpful but not required. Poles certainly help for stability.

Comments: Planned on doing Carter Dome, but late start and poor weather made us change our goal. Somewhat frustrating day, but still a great day in the woods. If you find my lost contact on the trail, please let me know ;)

Good effort!

I've climbed Carter Dome from the hut twice this winter and its a very steep climb with lots of deep snow and ice. Not one I'd want to do in weather like yesterday's. Worth returning in good weather for a loop over Carter Dome and Hight.

Sent you a pm regarding Owlie.
