Still quite a bit of snow near the top. We used traction devices for the descent. There is a lot of blow down. We were able to climb over or get around.
It was a nice evening. The woods were very pretty in snow. We had to come out with headlamps as the snow and blow-downs slowed us down. Still only 8 PM, but dusk was 7:40. All had traction devices thanks to a hiker who brought an extra pair.
