 | Comments: |
We started with bare boots and didn't put spikes on until about 3000 feet. Ice patches here and there down low that were avoidable. Major ice up high that turned us around. One in the group took a spill on the ice and cut up his hands. I continued a bit higher to find more ice in the steep sections and decided to call it a day and come back in better conditions. Couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise. |
