 | Comments: |
Minimal snow at trailhead, lots of ice hidden under the dusting of snow. Traction is necessary, micros worked if you watched your footing, though most on the trail opted for a heavier crampon option. No views today, but warm temps made it a comfortable hike up the Kinsmans. Hopefully more snow soon will cover the rocks/roots still showing down low. |
