Carrigain via Signal Ridge in the snow, 10-26-13

[Paul M]

Snowed from the car to the summit. Only a trace until mid-way up the long traverse, and about 1-2" on the ridge and summit, with no significant drifts. Most hikers we saw bare booted, but a couple used microspikes on the descent for insurance. Temps about 20 degrees on top, with strong wind only on the tower. Saw about 10-15 others on the trail.
