Icy conditions on moraine above Convict Lake

Climbed moraine from Convict Lake to tobacco flat on way to Mini Morrison today. The climb from the lake was hard and icy, but surprisingly busy, with at least a dozen people spread across the switchbacks.  I saw two people fall varying distances back down the slope. No injuries.  ski crampons would have been very helpful for these people given the frozen conditions. In happier news, the ski back down from Hippy Trees was lovely.
