Quick hike of Cannon. Blue ice from nearly the start. Substantial amounts begin at 2600 feet. Hillsound trail crampons start to finish,i also carried G12's which would have actually been useful in a few spots especially descending. Snowshoes stayed in the trunk. Hiking this in micros would be a tough proposition at this time with the ice. It was nice chatting briefly with the hiker in the parking lot. otherwise i crossed paths with no others enjoying this beautiful afternoon. Summit tower has at least 3 missing boards on tower. |
