March 14, 2011. Crawford Path was well-packed to the Webster Cliff Trail with a couple of soft sections up high. Webster Cliff to Pierce was wind-packed snow with some ice. Crawford Path to Eisenhower was packed but required more care around spruce tips and it had some longer sections of hard ice. Eisenhower Loop was well-packed and had some ice on the steeps of the cone. Only one duck-under blowdown. No crossings. Snowshoe tracks appeared to continue toward Mizpah from Pierce's summit.
We wore snowshoes all the way to the Eisenhower Loop and changed to crampons there. Additional traffic allowed us to bare-boot down, once past the icy areas along the ridge between the peaks.
Socked-in but bright day, beautiful and eerie in the quiet, white, windless world up there.
