| Comments: |
MIcrospikes necessary as we started to ascend Imp and then through Carter Dome Trail. Lots of black ice on the lower elevations but rockhopper around a lot of it to keep up a good pace. Bluebird sky and great day (no wind on the ridge trail!) to be hiking. Only saw 6 other folks but everyone seemed to be in a good mood. |
