 | Comments: |
Most major trails in the North Presi's were broken out today. Valley Way is a well consolidated highway now, with some postholes from bare booters. Not much snow and lots of ice on and between the rocks on the summit cones above treeline. Heavier traction and crampons worked better than microspikes. Airline is a bit rough with some postholes and lots of tree branches at face level due to snow depth. |
