This one was a challenge today. Trail is soft and choppy. Post holes if you step off what little monorail there is. Lots of unconsolodated snow up top. I did it with just spikes today as did a few others but, snow shoes are a good idea. If for nothing else but the heel lifts... This one is steep when the snow fills in the trail. You will crash into branches... I almost got impaled with one in the temple.
All in all, the views were there and this one was another victory over my RA! |
