 | Comments: |
MICROspikes worked well up till the climb of the north peak. We put on snow shoes for the Televators, and the traction the cleats afforded - worked great. We left the shoes on for the ridge, and found several drifts where they were useful. Decided against glissading the south slide, so we switched to crampons for the walk down - the right choice. MICROspikes for the walk out. The trails were in great shape today. |
