| Comments: |
Snowshoes not needed, trail is either hard-packed or boilerplate. Used microspikes on the way up both peaks; donned Hillsounds Pro for the way down. The usual bypass at the chimney is also filled with ice, so a third bypass has developed on the right. Easy to spot.
Had forgotten how steep this one is! No wonder I haven't been up in a couple of years. |
