The trail up until the gem pool was fine. Shortly after the gem pool the rocks were icy and slippery. As I walked from the hut to summit of Monroe it was hailing with poor visibility. Very windy. I could see the cairns and not much more. Descending to the hut, I couldn't see it until I was almost upon it. After that the visability cleared up, remaining overcast.

Some kind of spikes were necessary. The people who didn't wear them struggled on the rocks. Very warm, waterproof clothes needed.

Always a spectacular hike! I love hiking!!
