 | Comments: |
Went up Valley Way bare-booted until 2.9 miles then micro-spikes until hut. Still very icy, no issues in spikes. Cold & windy above treeline Osgood to top got out of wind on top on Washington side. Down Watson Path, windy 10-25mph until trees. Minor ice, spikes only in a couple of spots. This is the way down, went down Valley Way last Sunday not again. Steep but a nice hike down. No Ice!
Another beautiful day in the Whites! |
