| Comments: |
A pretty sub-par day for this loop, but was glad to be out doing it anyway. Was damp most of the day, with a stiff breeze, rime, and glaze ice forming above treeline. Occasional patches of snow and ice on the upper parts of Glencliff, Carriage, and Beaver Brook/Benton. Some may want traction, but we managed without. Good day out with Ashley. |
