We wore our Hillsounds and Micro spikes from the get go. They worked fine all the way to the summit. Others had crampons on. Traction a must. The steeps had flowing ice and the slide also had some flowing ice. The slide is very treacherous right now. I had to back down on the way back. The chimney has flowing ice, but the by pass is dry with minor ice patches. We saw 3 other groups out today. No wind and not too cold. Great day out with J & J, and Bruce.
Congratulations to Jeremy today on his Grid finish on Waumbek. Sorry I missed it. |
