| Comments: |
Some of the north-facing slabs on Carter-Moriah had ice patches which were easily avoided, plus some frozen ice on puddles on ridge - no need for traction which would only chew up the trail worse than it is. Some of the plank bridges were slippery. But basically this route was only minorly affected by the storm and hikers I met said North Imp had nothing major either.
