Ascent Trip ReportFirst time on the Webster Cliff Trail. It was a pretty cool and windy day, but the views were phenomenal. We found this trail to be just as advertised. Much more strenuous than the distance and elevation gain suggest. The trail is moderate up to the first major switchback, but beyond that the climb up to the first outlook, the trail is very steep and rugged in places. The viewpoints from the ridge get better and more frequent as you go further, and there are a few good ones off the east side of the ridge into the Dry River Valley. We took a lunch break at one of the lower and more open ones overlooking the notch. The trail also gets tougher closer to the summit. Approaching the summit, there is one rather difficult extended rock scramble. It was my second time on the summit, my first time being in 2015 when I climbed Mt. Jackson. We took a nice break here and tried to stay out of the wind. |
