midnight hike after zealand and hale. i could only see what my lamp provides and everything seemed to be fine. much of the same when you get up higher when it comes to frozen post holes. this was my first time doing Carrigain completely in the dark start to finish. one good thing was that the weather was more of a snow/freezing rain when we made it here instead of the rain/ freezing rain that was 15 miles up the road. The trails really need some love. i was going to sleep in my truck and do isolation from Davis but with current trail conditions its just not worth it. Gaia had it at 4:27 |
