 | Comments: |
Did this one with the AMC. The road walk was well, a road walk. Used spike to the summer parking lot and to the junction of Carrigain Notch Trail. Switched to snowshoes but should have waited five minutes until all river crossings done. The snow was light and fluffy - no sticking at all. Used snowshoes for traction and heel lifts but several in the group stayed with spike the shop day. Snowshoes made it much easier. |
