Polecat Trail up to the ridge - frozen conditions, excellent traction with spikes. Wildcat Ridge from D to A was very good "winter" footing, spikes and no postholes. Not much for views, but it cleared a couple of times and could see the ponds from the vista at "A". Michele even got a chance to try her crampons. Saw not others today. We expected slushy spring conditions and were treated to perfect "winter trail conditions" Bagged 2 peaks with friend and Partner Michele :-) |
