| Comments: |
Some of everything today. A lot of flattish ice that had fair bite with decent spikes due to above freezing temps. Packed snow with softish surface after the Webster Branch junction. Combo of softish icy “ramp” and bare ledge at the summit cone. If temps go below freezing and the ice stays around you will want sharp spikes, especially on the steeps during descent. |
