Blue bird day! Winds were no where near as bad as last week.
Webster-Jackson Trail is packed tight. Used micro spikes until over the top of Jackson down to where the mud bogs are. Switched to snowshoes after that and wore all the way to Eisenhower and back to Mt Pierce cut off. You could have gone either way with spikes or snowshoes but it helped to even the trail out.
From Pierce to Eisenhower the wind bit a bit and had to use hood and face mask.
Took off snowshoes and changed clothing below the tree line on Crawford and flew down on the hard packed Crawford Path. Super Day. |
