 | Comments: |
The typical ice sections on Fishing Jimmy are getting established, I usesd Katoolas and some bypasses but if there is a thaw and refreeze full crampons or at least Hillsounds may be required as Kahtoolas lack an adequate bite. The stretch from NO to So Kinsman was boder line barebootable, snowshoes are recomended. |
