 | Comments: |
Headed up Liberty Spring Trail. Snowline was at about 3200'. Used microspikes. Monorail in places but it was wide and stable. Still several feet of snow across the ridge. Summits of Liberty and Flume have bare, dry rock. Most of the ridge between Little Haystack and Lafayette is snow free with the exception of patches of snow and a couple small snowfields. Some ice and snow coming down from Lafayette. I was in bare boots and found enough dry rocks to step on but light traction may be helpful. |
