 | Comments: |
Solid frozen surface with varying types and amounts of ice, there were microspikes, hillsounds, and crampons out. Some substantial ice bulges but not steep. On the ridge, packed snow with a dusting on top, great walking. Snowshoes stayed behind. Winds not much over 10mph on the summits, temps in the 20's and 30's F, clear blue & sunny day. Great meeting Bill,Diane,& Patty, the only others on this trail. |
