Two to three feet of snow was mostly packed down by boots along the trail until the the upper log crossing above both falls, where a few sets of crampons continued. Besides a few brief clearings we were in fog most of the day. I saw nearly every kind of snow condition throughout the day. Crampons were very helpful for the last few hundred feet of each peak.

Denny Mountain and the Tooth briefly appeared at the first clearing before Keekwulee Falls. I remember seeing a few more feet of snow there in mid-December 2012.
