Trail was very well packed all the way up to lonesome lake. We wore snowshoes to be safe. Trail was less traveled up past lonesome lake to Kinsman Ridge trail. One technical spot on what we think was the cannon boulder field up Kinsman ridge trail about .5 miles from summit. About 30 feet of climbing, which the three of us managed with extreme caution, hands and feet. We could see ice beneath the snow, and it was a bit sketchy to go up, and then to come back down this section. The rest of the trail had perfect conditions. We went back down the same route, and two of us wore spikes, and one wore crampons. Overall a great day :) |
