 | Comments: |
Microspikes or Hillsounds the entire way is ideal - Trail is bony for the bottom mile the consistently icy the rest of the way up to Liberty. The FRT between the peaks was a well packed mixture of ice and snow. Snowshoes definitely not needed until the next storm; I left mine in the car based on previous reports and was glad to not have to carry them! |
