 | Comments: |
A hike of three seasons. So nice and dry down low. Snow started after junction with bald knob. I made it most of the way to ridge without traction. There is still some flow ice from winter under the new stuff. The ridge trail change a lot during my time up there. It went from spring snow to slush and water on the return from south. I think that it is going to be sloppy up there for a few more days. I used hill sound trail crampons to get purchase in the snow/slush. |
