Headed up to middle bear picnic area w/ snow climbing gear worked my way thru the trees up a steep snowy gully and ended up below some snow:Icey slabs @ which point I strapped on the crampons and got out the ice ax moderate scrambling 3 class barely 4th but very loose, maybe 2 hours round trip. A little sketchy in spots sliced open the lower leg of my snow pants with my crampons(forgot my gaiters)... All in all a good time
