 | Comments: |
Ice, really freaking icy! I had sharp microspikes and was fine but had to use my imagination to get around a few spots and was very careful descending. Crampons would not have been an overkill, so if you feel more comfortable in them bring them, with the cold temps coming over the next few days and more mixed precip they could prove to be a great option to at least have on hand. Poles would have came in handy, too. Above the glades (last half mile) the trail is fine in light traction. |
