Cold, but no wind today. Blueberry Ledge was mix of ice, bare ground and a little snow up to 2500 feet. Some snow up higher. Some ice on Whiteface ledges. Not a problem ascending with spikes. Crampons may have been helpful if we were descending Whiteface. Rollins had lots of dangerous postholes from col to Dicey Mills junction. Dicey Mills had better snow coverage until down low. Some ice on it, but not a problem. Great hiking with Larry and meeting Mark, Jill and Jeff. |
