The trail that shall not be named was fairly well dried out, with just one blow down between the stream crossing and Kilkenny Ridge trail, which for the most part was snowfree except for some sporadic patches on the switchbacks above 3500 ft and some old drifts between the cabin and summit, all nicely postholed. Snowshoes, crampons, Stabilicers, Microspikes, Yaktrax, or nail boots not needed.
