 | Comments: |
Quick hike of the Kinsmans with speedway conditions. Barebooted until approx 1/2 mile above Bald Peak intersection. with spotty ice starting at 2nd water crossing gradually becoming more prominent i opted for micros which stayed on until returning to this point. All ice encountered was grippy and no issue. Remaining track at upper elevations was very supportive. Great views today as well as a few snowflakes. It was nice crossing paths with fellow Gridders including Twinkle Toes. Snowshoes stayed in the trunk. |
