 | Comments: |
Good morning hike up Crotched, mostly overcast and mid 40s - low 50s. You could get away with barebooting but please don't step off trail. Light traction like Yak Traks or Stabilicers will do fine. Hiked with 17lb pack today for a bit of training for an overnight hut trip in May. Slow and steady wins the race. Sun truly came out after we got home! Trail almost completely clear. |
