 | Comments: |
Barebooted to Avalon/A-Z//microspikes worked well most of the way to Field..Deeper snow and many postholes around 3700 feet where i put on snowshoes and kept them on to Willey and back to Tom..Plenty of snow for snowshoes but a bit annoying at times with postholes and very narrow booted out track.. mount tom spur and A-Z well packed and micros worked great for the descent..Hopefully a good dump tomorrow erases the mess and we can get on with the snowshoe season... |
