| Comments: |
not much to add to Greg's earlier comments. chatted with him a bit just before we put on spikes near the ridge. Solid stretches of blue flow ice, we were able to spike it over to South and back but used crampons on North Kinsman descent. Pretty dicey icy. Nice to chat with Laura along the way. Pretty nice day out..some breeze on South, great views in the afternoon. Nice day out with Ali |
