 | Comments: |
Falling Waters Trail was hard packed all the way to Little Haystack with the steeper sections around the water crossings glazed over and slick. The ridge walk had some bare ground, packed snow, and some ice. The cone of Lafayette was hard packed and in good shape. OBP was getting soft in the sun with the steeper sections very slippery. I wore spikes and some people that I saw had crampons on. |
