 | Comments: |
There is ice all over the trail--a lot of the time it feels like you're ice climbing up the trail instead of hiking! There is a bypass to the bypass, but the bypass is only rock and basically no ice, so it's not necessary to hike the bypass to the bypass.
A thank you to Bill, someone we met on the trail, for lending my Mom a Microspike. Both her Hillsound Pros had broke, surprisingly. |
