 | Comments: |
essentially a solid ice staircase to mid level. micros adequate for ascent but a bit over matched in places on descent. towards ridge more frozen granular with mixed blue ice which made micros tolerable. gorgeous day with several people and dogs out. if I head up before next storm on in this area it will be with the k-10 trail crampons...ice ice baby. Merry Christmas to all!!! great day to be out |
