It's the day after the Christmas Thaw and the trail has firmed up nicely. Temps in the 20's. Started up on patchy ice & put spikes on just below the start of the traverse. Firm & fast all the way up to Starr King with a bit more snow in the saddle but it was all packed down to Waumbek. Total time for complete hike 2:35. 2nd peak in my attempt at the single-season Winter 48. |
