"The eastern bridge on the Whisper River route is currently under repair. You will need waterproof boots to ford the shallow creek detour safely. Water levels are low but the rocks are slippery."

"Granite Edge Traverse has lingering ice patches near the final ascent. Microspikes are highly recommended even in the afternoon when temperatures rise. Do not attempt without proper traction."
