Trails Safe in Flood Situations

Universal klister says "leave the trad skis home and skate... because conditions will be pretty fast."

Yes, klister conditions are often good for skating--but skating is usually pretty useless in the BC.

Waxless trad skis work well in some klister conditions.

The eastern approach to Abraham is NOT viable right now, unless you bring a kayak, or hip waders, or a very long ladder! TR coming soon...

I have used MT. Liberty as a training mountain and have rarely found the one major brook crossing to be too bad to cross. If I had to guess right now, I would say 99% that it would pose nothing more then a rock hop.

I was out there Saturday - the first crossing on rocks/ice is not likely but there's a relatively easy downed-tree walk upstream, a hundred yards. Ice is unconsolidated, lots of open water and slush.
