 | Comments: |
The trail was hard packed. I barebooted all the way to the summit and decided to wear microspikes on the descent so that I could go along at a good clip. I saw tracks from snowshoes, microspikes, yak trax and bare boots. Pick your poison, but I think snowshoes are overkill right now (who knows after the mess coming on Sunday!) |
