| Comments: |
Glad I had my microspikes. A thin coat of ice on the rocks up on the ridge made for scary stepping. Put the spikes on and everything got easy. put them on at Lincoln and took them off at the hut. Quite a few people coming up OBP while we were heading down. No one had traction and they were wishing they did. Snow showers all day and the wind wasn't too bad. But no views. |
