| Comments: |
Generally icy below hut and above. Traction safer and faster. Ridge fine. Solid ice flow below summit on Little Haystack turned back others with dogs but some youngsters bare booted hanging on to vegetation... Virtually no trail edge in that 100'- traction highly recommended, esp to securely assist a dog. |
