 | Comments: |
A light breeze and cold at the summit. Clear views under a solid overcast.
Well packed and frozen trail. MICROspikes were sufficient, but a couple of us switched to snowshoes for the televators on the steep climb.
There were several patches of blue ice covered with a dusting of snow, although the MICRO's dug in enough at the time. |
