 | Comments: |
Started my hike at 330. Trails were frozen and once I hit the steep section I had to swap from micro spikes to trail crampons after my micros couldn't get a good bite on solid ice and caused me to fall and slide down the trail a bit. Once the sun came out the trails got soft and micros might have been enough to get a good bit on the ice. With the road closed this adds a 2 mile road walk each way. |
