Warm day with temps in the 40's and 50's, even on the ridge. Trail is muddy to start, but quickly goes to ice/packed snow, which is perfect for microspikes. Wore microspikes from car to car, including blue ice section above spring and across the ridge where the was a bit of soft snow over the packed out trail. |
