 | Comments: |
Definitely traction needed on the Carter Moriah trail, there is ice. One section particularly would be tricky to descend without. The steep section to the summit is also icy and the spikes worked well. Only my second time of Mt Moriah. Thanks to Eric for suggesting this one, beautiful day to be out, almost unlimited views. |
