 | Comments: |
19 Mile Brook Tr is a ribbon of ice for nearly its entire length (WI1, if this means anything to you :) ). Ridge is mostly packed corn snow. Microspikes from car, switched to crampons for Wildcat Col as there was some steeper ice bulges on the trail descending from C. Microspikes down Polecat as there were big patches of ice there as well. |
