Sections of blue ice on Imp Trail had me in the mini cramps today while Tim pushed the microspikes to the max..Put on snowshoes just below the ridge and used them over to the Dome and back to Zeta Pass..Great snowshoe conditions..what a blast..Big drifts in particular on Carter Dome..Microspikes from Zeta down were ideal..Some pretty good ice bulges on 19 Mile Brook. Fairly warm with only a couple of windy spots made for a good hikes..Enjoyed chatting with Applejack on Carter Dome |
