 | Comments: |
Real nice day to be out hiking. Temperatures were warm for December and winds were light. The upper part of Falling Waters Trail has a good ice flow requiring (sharp) traction. Hillsounds worked good for me. Above treeline was ice and snow free. The ice flows were again required traction just before the hut on the Greenleaf Trail and for a distance past the hut on the Old Bridle Path. |
