 | Comments: |
Had to turn back just after treeline due to very significant ice. Was cold enough that ice was hard up higher. Being solo with just microspikes was too much risk for me. Others in spikes were able to manage up and down using vegetation but everyone agreed crampons would be appropriate for the icy bits. |
