 | Comments: |
Snowshoes all the way to peak but would have been better served by crampons leading up to the hut and beyond to peak. Only 2 small sections that crampons would have been preferred but shoes were OK and preferred for the majority of the hike. Had fun butt sliding down small sections on the way down!!! Hopefully more snow will arrive soon to stack up over the ice. |
