Quick morning hike of these two peaks. A balmy 37 degrees at the trailhead. Speedway conditions from start to finish. spotty blue ice was just soft enough for micros to bite into. light drifting just before the summit of Waumbek. i met 8 others on my way back down.Snowshoes not needed at this time and was glad to leave in the trunk for now. Today represents peak 400/576 of round 2 48x12 |
