| Comments: |
Nice loop up Piper Mountain today. The trails were wet from the rain last night. Some ground frost above the logging road crossing on PMT. A fair amount of ice forming on the ledges ascending PMT and descending OPT. The ice was avoidable for the most part with a couple areas needing some care to navigate around the ice. Spikes are not necessary at this point but may be in the near future. |
