| Comments: |
Beautiful weather. Lincoln Woods very well packed, Bondcliff was packed in the treadway, but post holes were knee to hip deep if you stepped off the monorail. Bareboots, light traction all the way to the summit, but the snow softened considerably in the sun. Swapped to snow shoes on the way down, until we hit the railroad grade (formerly the Wilderness Trail).
Great views from Bondcliff |
