 | Comments: |
Beautiful day on the ridge. The wind was ripping between Lincoln and Little Haystack but the warm conditions made things very bearable.Old Bridle Path is well packed and nearing sidewalk status in places. The upper part of Falling Waters has been postholed quite a bit and could turn into a lunar landscape if it refreezes. It really needs an army of snowshoes but most folks were using light traction or crampons today. |
