 | Comments: |
Bushwhack from golf course, Rd walk, AT, Reddington bushwhack
Bare booted for a hot second then threw on snowshoes for the rest of the day. Was hoping Trail would still be visible if not broken and the AT was almost visible and fairly easy to follow. The slab section was a little confusing as we haven’t done these mountains many times, but we figured it out. Reddington was a nightmare and we broke almost to the road crossing before another couple blew by and broke the uphill section for us which was deeply appreciated. North wasn’t broken either, but us and the other couple left a good track. Who knows what’s happened since though. |
