Route: From Comanche Trailhead
Posted On: 11/7/2021, By: WildWanderer
Info: No traction needed until just before the pass, and then I put on microspikes and used my ice axe to make it over the cornice at the pass (note: cornice is avoidable by taking the lower trail to the Comanche/Spring saddle). Summer conditions on ridge.

Route: Comanche/Spring/Venable/12,873

Info: The Comanche trail is in great shape. Maybe one fallen tree the entire way up to the pass, then an easy Class 2+ scramble directly up the ridge to Spring. 
6/4/2020
Route: Comanche-Venable Loop
Posted On: 6/4/2020, By: tjf242424
Info: Summer conditions aside from two small traverses on snow on the Comanche Trail, easily crossed in approach shoes (no traction). There is still a significant cornice at the Comanche saddle, but it is easy to climb straight up to the ridge just before reaching the snow. The ridge on Comanche, the traverse over Spring, the ascent of Venable, and the Venable Trail back to the trailhead are all completely dry.
