 | Comments: |
Icy from trail head to summit. I microspiked to the slide and then switched to Hillsounds. Slide was very sketchy, especially coming down. The Chimney bypass was thankfully bare. I would not attempt this hike without sharp traction, my dull microspikes were not the ticket. My sharp Hillsounds saved me today. |
