We did this one clockwise.... much better done counter clockwise. The viewless climb UP Sturgeon Rock trail was a chore. Beautiful day though and didn't see anybody on the trail.

Definitely better counter-clockwise!

What's the snow situation?

Team Reynolds · March 14, 2014

Hit deep snow going up at STurgeon rock, it was drifted but crusty so no issue. On top it was well compacted and level, Grouse Vista was slippery on the steep part approaching the top. Microspikes would be a good idea, snowshoes unnecessary.
