Microspikes the whole day was all that was needed - snowshoes got a free ride. Saw a large AMC group and a few small groups in crampons, but really overkill. Saw one group of three in bareboots. Mix of rocks, snow, ice on the ridge. Goggles for a short section approaching the summit of Lafayette. Great views! |
