 | Comments: |
Never been up Old Clough Road, and I wanted to get Mount Rand in March. The snow was frozen from the below freezing night, so I only needed microspikes. Few big blowdowns, however there are walk arounds. The ice flows are definitely something to watch out for, especially going up the west side of West Quarry. |
