 | Comments: |
Here I want primarily to report the ice flows and bulges that now occur frequently on this route since the thaw and refreeze earlier this week. Anne L. and I wore spikes the entire hike, which covered packed snow, rock and bare ground, and serious ice flows. If you have a beater pair of crampons, they would be useful. |
