 | Comments: |
Wore snowshoes for the ascent, but didn't need them - trail was either hardpack or bare. Bushwhacked off the summit to the cliffs - no snow on the southern facing areas. Snowshoes hitched a ride on my pack for the descent. Light traction might be nice in a few icy areas, but I walked around the ice, rather than stop to put on Micros. |
