Light traction to start but soon after switched to sharp Hillsound TC. There was a thin coating of ice with a light dusting of snow; unfavorable conditions by headlamp. Many exposed rocks and roots to be thankful for this morning. Good purchase on the rock slab where the ice starting to build up (heading up), different story on the way down - opted to pick my way down saddling up next to the scrub. I've heard 'trust the equipment' not today. Sunrise was worth the effort, didn't see a soul. |
